Paul Pogba aims apparent dig at Manchester United as Solskjaer's call on Romelu Lukaku justified

Here are your evening Manchester United headlines for Tuesday, June 7.

Pogba appears to confirm Evra claim in apparent dig at United

Paul Pogba says he wants to 'feel loved' at his next club after deciding to leave United. The Frenchman will officially become a free agent when his United contract expires at the end of the month, bringing to an end his six-year second stint at the club.

Pogba, 29, will leave United exactly 10 years on from the last time he departed by running down his contract. As the Manchester Evening News reported last month, Pogba is expected to rejoin Juventus, whom he joined from United in 2012.
