When Manchester United re-signed Paul Pogba for a club-record fee of £89million back in August 2016, they did so with the idea in mind that he would help them restock their trophy cabinet.
Jose Mourinho had been installed as Louis van Gaal's successor, cult hero Zlatan Ibrahimovic had already put pen to paper on a one-year deal and United had rediscovered a sense of optimism and belief that the good times were about to return.
Almost six years on from the summer of 2016, Pogba is preparing to pack his bags and leave Old Trafford for a second time. Out-of-contract at the end of the season, the Frenchman has shown no sign of committing his future to the club beyond June 30, meaning United will be forced to stomach a huge financial loss.
