Paul Pogba is leaning towards signing a new deal with Manchester United and staying next season.

That's the belief among his long-term suitors Real Madrid, Juventus and PSG, reports AS via Le 10 Sport.

All three giants are maintaining a watching brief on Pogba's situation, though news from intermediaries is that he is favouring new contract talks with United.

Pogba is now inside the final 18 months of his current contract so meaning this summer's transfer window represents the last chance for United to get value for money. However, there's now a growing confidence that Pogba is ready to sit down and commit himself to a new deal with United.

The France midfielder was back in action on Sunday for victory over Brighton. While his campaign has been hit by injury, Pogba has still managed 31 appearances for United across all competitions, scoring five goals and producing four assists in the process.
