# Manchester United: Fans react as Paul Pogba is willing to commit future to the club

**Last season Manchester United had a good campaign in the Premier League as they finished [third](https://www.premierleague.com/tables), and this means they will be back in the Champions League.**

They also reached[three semi-finals](https://www.manutd.com/en/matches/fixtures-results) and will be looking to improve on this in the 2020/21 season. To do this they need their best players, and it looks like one of their key men is ready to commit his future to the club following the latest news.

According to [Jason Burt](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/08/23/paul-pogba-ready-sign-new-contract-manchester-united-agentmino/), who is a writer for The Telegraph, and reposted on Twitter by [utdreport](https://twitter.com/utdreport/status/1297602065196351492?s=20), midfielder and [World Cup winner](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/paul-pogba/profil/spieler/122153) Paul Pogba is prepared to sign a new contract at United and initial talks have already taken place with his agent Mino Raiola.

This will be very good news for supporters of the club to hear, as the Frenchman can have a big attacking influence during matches.

He was injured for a large part of the 2019/20 season, so only managed to play 16 games, but in these games, he averaged 1.4 shots, 1.9 key passes, and 1.7 successful dribbles per game, per [WhoScored.](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/32/Show/England-Man-Utd) Comparing these to the [squad](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/32/Show/England-Man-Utd), he completed the second-most dribbles and key passes per game, whilst he was sixth when it came to shots.

For someone who has played in [central midfield](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/paul-pogba/profil/spieler/122153) in a lot of his appearances this season, these stats show how good he is at frustrating the opposition from the middle of the pitch and he is someone who can turn defence into attack very quickly.

Here is what fans said following the news:
