We 'signed' Paul Pogba for Newcastle United next season and this is what happened

Newcastle United are rumoured to be 'monitoring' Paul Pogba's current contract situation with Manchester United, with the French midfielder available on a free transfer this summer.

Pogba has spent six years at Manchester United since signing for a then world-record transfer fee of £89.3m from Juventus in 2016, but after failing to live up to expectations in that time, the midfielder looks set to leave on the expiry of his contract this summer. The Reds have failed to tie down the Frenchman, with the Magpies one of many teams potentially interested in his services next season.

In an interview with the Sun, Pogba expressed his displeasure of the last five years at United, claiming he's been left unsatisfied and wants to win trophies. The Sun also report that Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid remain the favourites to sign Pogba in the summer, though the Magpies along with Aston Villa are also reportedly monitoring the situation.
