Man Utd midfielder Pogba not played enough for Real Madrid move - McManaman

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba hasn't played enough to earn a move to Real Madrid, according to former Los Blancos winger Steve McManaman.

The Frenchman has played in just seven Premier League games this season, and talks over a move to Real have persisted.

McManaman told HorseRacing.net: "He hasn't played enough football this season for sides like Madrid to be genuinely interested in him.

"If he stays, plays and gets back to full fitness at Manchester United, I certainly think that he will get back into the starting XI very easily.

"Nemanja Matic is a year older, Juan Mata is a year older and Paul is definitely good enough to play in those positions alongside Bruno Fernandes, so I don't think there's any problem there.

"He's certainly got the quality to play in the Manchester United midfield as long as he's fit and healthy, but we've been waiting to hear from Paul Pogba all year regarding his future.

"Pogba has yet to say whether he wants to stay or whether he wants to leave."
