Adrien Rabiot has admitted he will think about his future after he's played at the World Cup with France. Manchester United were close to signing Rabiot from Juventus in the summer but the deal collapsed due to the midfielder’s wage demands.
Although United agreed a £15million fee rising to £20m with Juventus for Rabiot, sources suggested the France international wanted an ‘obscene’ salary, which meant football director John Murtough's visit to Turin to complete the deal was in vain.
Rabiot has remained at Juventus for the season and he's currently playing some of the best football of his career. The midfielder has started in every Serie A game when he's been available and he made France's World Cup squad for Qatar.

France defeated Australia 4-1 in the opening match and Rabiot scored the equalising goal and played the full 90 minutes. Ahead of the weekend, he discussed his future and admitted that he would be open to a Premier League switch.
"In the end, once it was clear I would not go to United, I focused straight back on Juventus to give everything I had," Rabiot told ESPN. "I didn't want people to doubt my commitment or to think that because I could have left for United, I would not care anymore.
"I am out of contract in June, and I don't want people to think that I am not committed or invested at Juve this season. I feel attracted by the football, by the Premier League itself and its super competitive nature. I loved my time there, even if I was young.
"I liked the culture and the life; my family liked it too. I am not indifferent to playing in England, but there will be many options to consider. I have not spoken with Juve about the future, for example as our start to the season was tough.
"Plus the World Cup was coming and I wanted to focus on it. After the World Cup, i will start thinking about my future more."
Rabiot's contract with Juventus expires in the summer.
