Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has told Man City what he wants amid transfer reports

Manchester United star Paul Pogba has already hinted at two demands he would have for Pep Guardiola if he were to complete a shock transfer to the Etihad Stadium this summer. Manchester City are tipped to swoop for the France international upon the expiry of his Old Trafford contract.

A decade on from his initial move to Juventus - also as a free agent - Pogba will depart United for the second time, with Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Juventus and City all understood to be in the market for his signature. City's reported interest has been circulating for 12 hours or so after initial reports from the Daily Mail.

Speculation over Pogba's future has gathered pace over the weeks heading into this upcoming window. Wherever he ends up playing his football next season, it seems he's desperate to compete for trophies and be given a consistent role in the side.

Speaking during the March international break, Pogba told French publication Le Figaro : "You have to be honest, these last five seasons have not satisfied me, really not at all. This year is dead, we won't win anything. Whether it's with Manchester United or another club, I want to win trophies.

"It's simple with France, I play and I play in my position - I know my role and I feel the confidence of the coach and the players. It's normal to feel a difference at Manchester United because it's hard to be consistent when you often have a change to your position, or the team system, or your [midfield] partners.

"I get along very well with [France manager Didier Deschamps], he gave me a role that I know - but at Manchester United do I really have a role? I ask the question, but don't have an answer."
