Manchester United midfielder Fred is urging Paul Pogba to sign a new contract and stay.

Pogba has found form in recent weeks after agent Mino Raiola claimed "it's over" for him at Old Trafford.

Fred told Globo Esporte: "He (Pogba) is one of the guys who works hard, works hard, is very serious in training.

"Inside the locker room is a guy who helps us, is always in a good mood.

"We hope so much that he can stay, everyone knows his quality, this is indisputable.

"It helps us a lot on and off the field and donates to the maximum, whenever we donate to the maximum it makes great matches. And we hope he stays and is always at his best."
