The Spanish giants have been a long term admirer of the Pogba and will mostly likely table an offer for the French midfielder when his contract runs out in the summer.

Pogba has been out with injury and has only just returned to the United squad after almost two months and Ragnick says he will definitely be playing the midfielder in his squad even if he will be joining another club in August.

“For me it's not a question if a player has an expiring contract, the question is how much does he still want to be a part of this group?

“As long as this is the case, why shouldn't Paul Pogba now, after two-and-a-half months of injury, being fully fit again now, play? He also wants to show up.

“He wants to show the fans of Manchester United, the board, the whole world, what kind of player he can be, even if it's only to show enough for a new contract elsewhere.
