Wayne Rooney gives Chelsea and Arsenal the green light to sign £49.5m World Cup winner

Wayne Rooney has given both Chelsea and Arsenal the green light to end Paul Pogba's Man United nightmare this summer as the current Derby manager believes it is the right time for the World Cup winner to move on from the Red Devils.

The Frenchman's contract expires in the summer and many of the European elite are vying for the free signature of United's number 6 come the end of the season. And judging by his scathing comments over the last international break, Pogba could be destined for the exit doors. "Here [with the French team], I have a lot more playing time, the system is different than in a club. In fact, it's simple, at the Blues, I play, and, in addition, at my post. I know my role, I feel the confidence of the coach, the players," he outlined during the March international period.

"It's normal to feel this difference with Man United, because it's hard to be consistent when you often change position, game system or partners." He then added on his displeasure regarding how United's season has unfolded: "This year, it [the season] is dead, we won't win anything yet. Whether it's with United or at another club, I want to win trophies."
