According to a report by [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jul/15/paul-pogba-increasingly-likely-to-stay-at-manchester-united?CMP=share_btn_tw), the possibility of the France World Cup winner leaving the club this summer is looking rather remote at the moment and no bids have been made as of yet.

Real Madrid are [thought](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jul/15/paul-pogba-increasingly-likely-to-stay-at-manchester-united?CMP=share_btn_tw) to hold an interest in the midfielder. However, they value him between £100-120million, whereas United are believed to want a fee in the region of £170m.

Despite managing to get [13 goals in his 35 Premier League](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/97752/Show/Paul-Pogba) matches last season and come away with figures such as [3 shots on average, 1.6 key passes and 2 fouls drawn per game](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/97752/Show/Paul-Pogba) for United last season, the 26-year-old continued to come in for large amounts of criticism throughout the campaign.

Indeed, the likes of Graeme Souness (in the Times, via the [Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1091718/Paul-Pogba-Manchester-United-Graeme-Souness-reaction-Liverpool-football)) and Roy Keane (on [Sky Sports](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2EYDHYw2cQ)) have spoken out against the Frenchman in the past.

Pogba has hit back at the criticism he has received in the past ([RMC Sport via The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/8964164/paul-pogba-hits-back-roy-keane-graeme-souness-manchester-united-criticism/)), though he has also been criticised by the club’s own fans, as scenes from the final day home defeat to Cardiff City showed ([The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/paul-pogba-reacts-furious-man-15475272)).

And the mood does not seem to have improved, with the news that he could be staying at Manchester United beyond the summer irking these supporters below.

Many of them took to Twitter to share some rather negative reactions to the article from [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jul/15/paul-pogba-increasingly-likely-to-stay-at-manchester-united?CMP=share_btn_tw), with some of them calling for him to be sold.

Here are just some of their reactions…
