# Exclusive: Pundit expects Paul Pogba to sign new Manchester United contract

**Former Premier League midfielder Carlton Palmer has told [The Transfer Tavern](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/) in an exclusive interview that he expects Paul Pogba to sign a new contract at Manchester United.**

Pogba’s current deal is set to expire next year and he is currently being [linked with a move to](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-utd-paul-pogba-contract-24353362) Paris Saint-Germain.

However, according to [The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/15340008/man-utd-paul-pogba-highest-paid-player/?utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=sunfootballtwitter&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1624224755), United are ready to make the France international the highest-paid player in England with a new £400,000-a-week contract.

And now Palmer is expecting him to remain at Old Trafford, believing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men will challenge for the title next season.

*“I think he’ll stay at Manchester United,”* the ex-Leeds United player exclusively told **TT**.

*“They’re going to sign \[Jadon\] Sancho, they’re going to go big this summer and I think they’re going to be challenging next season. If they get the players in that they’re going for, I think they’re going to be challenging.*

*“And the one thing is, if you’re going to be challenging for the league title, you can’t be selling one of your best players, Pogba. You really can’t, so I expect to see Pogba renew his contract.”*

Pogba has really shown his quality at Euro 2020, winning the [Star of the Match](https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro-2020/match/2024456--france-vs-germany/postmatch/report/) award for his display in France’s 1-0 win against Germany.

If that match is anything to go by, United really should be looking to keep the midfielder around, which does seem to be their aim.
