# Manchester United: Fans gush over Fabrizio Romano’s update on Paul Pogba amid interest from Real Madrid

**Manchester United are ready to offer Paul Pogba a new deal after his upturn in form since the Premier League restart.**

According to [Fabrizio Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1285005212663656450), as per [@utdreport](https://twitter.com/utdreport/status/1285159429231521792), Man United will try to extend his contract while his agent Mino Raiola waits in the wings.

[The Frenchman](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-transfer-rumours/manchester-united-forget-sancho-pogba-new-deal-solskjaer/) has insisted that he is “happy” at Old Trafford and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hopeful he will sign a new deal. Pogba’s contract will run out next year, although [United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-transfer-rumours/manchester-united-forget-sancho-pogba-new-deal-solskjaer/) have the the option to extend this by another year, amid interest from [Real Madrid and Juventus](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/12174152/man-utd-pogba-contract-raiola/).

The Red Devils will reach out to Raiola, who has [a strained relationship](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/12174152/man-utd-pogba-contract-raiola/) with the club’s hierarchy. The super-agent took to [social media](https://twitter.com/MinoRaiola/status/1229491521688391680) to fuel the fire earlier this year, although the two sides appear to be on talking terms once again.

Pogba has worked his way back to match fitness after recovering from [an injury](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/soccer-transfers/story/4132280/pogba-happy-at-man-united-amid-new-contract-talk) which required surgery, and his return has enabled him to team up with Bruno Fernandes for the first time, with the duo forming a formidable partnership ever since. The pair have started to build a platform to which [Solskjaer](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-transfer-rumours/manchester-united-forget-sancho-pogba-new-deal-solskjaer/) could add in the summer.

Unsurprisingly, loads of United fans gushed over the “big” update on Twitter, with one supporter tweeting that the news is “quality,” while another called it a “silver lining” following the team’s 3-1 defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup.

Scroll through some of the glowing reactions so far…

> hope this doesn't end up in us not signing a Midfielder this summer. Extend Pogba contract but make sure we also sign a quality midfield
