Another international break, another Paul Pogba interview in France once again raising the subject of his Manchester United future.
Old Trafford chiefs can set their watch by Pogba's regular dispatches from international duty these days. While he is a reticent talker when representing United, he can't stop chatting once he checks in at Clairefontaine.
It's a pattern that sums up the way Pogba has controlled the narrative on his future ever since he went public with his desire for a new challenge in 2019. United have kept hold of him since then, but he's produced only a couple of spells of truly consistent, high-level performances and throughout that time they've had to deal with the soap opera being created by Mino Raiola in the background.
