Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has revealed that he has the ambition of playing for Real Madrid, although he is content at Manchester United at the present point of time. The France international was heavily linked with an exit from Old Trafford following his mixed relationship with Jose Mourinho in the first half of the season but his stance seems to have changed with the Portuguese’s departure from the helm.
Speaking to reporters, Pogba indicated that he is presently content with his proceedings at Manchester United, where he was recently handed the captain’s armband under caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. However, the World Cup winner did not hide his ambition to play for the outgoing European champions and stated that he has the dream of pursuing the switch at some time in the future, he said: “At the moment I’m happy in Manchester. I play. There’s a new coach. Real Madrid is one of the biggest clubs in the world. I’ve always said it is a dream club for every player.”

Speaking on BeIN Sports, Wenger indicated that United were dominated in the centre of the park where the French outfit went with five midfielders compared to their three. He added to emphasise the importance of holding onto possession for longer periods at home which was simply not the case for United during the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 tie.
The former Roma man has since made his debut for the Middle East outfit and speaking to the club’s official website, he has now revealed that the move was based on religious reasons, he said: “I faced criticism from the Moroccan sports critics after moving to Doha but I want everyone to respect my decision because it was the best for me and for my family.”
Speaking to Manutd.com, Romeo highlighted that the squad are much happy than they were before and this has partly contributed to the improved performances on the playing field, he said: “We’ve had a great run. Not just the results, but the way in which we have won the games as well. Scoring five goals in one match was a big boost to confidence and was really something. What we’re showing now, after a great Christmas, is only right for a club of this stature, [it] proves what we can do. [The manager] knows what he wants to achieve – both for the club and us as individuals. You can see he has brought to the club a certain happiness and it is going well.”
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, he said:“I do think the players, obviously, get away with murder. Just the way they hide behind the manager, Mourinho. Whatever you say about the players, they have thrown him under the bus and people have said Mourinho has been falling out with players, well you would fall out with players. That’s the name of the game and players turn up overweight or players are not training properly and not producing. And then for some of them to down tools, you know, shame on some of them players.”
