  • Paul Pogba seems to be on his way out of Manchester United after he reportedly quit the club's WhatsApp group
  • Reports just Pogba has already informed his United teammates he will be departing at the end of the season
  • Only recently Ralf Rangnick hinted the Frenchman will not be getting a contract renewal at Old Trafford in a move that will pave for his exit

Want-away Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has reportedly exited the club's WhatsApp group ahead of a potential summer exit.

Pogba, who made a sensational return to Old Trafford back in 2016 from Juventus is yet to renew his deal with the club which is set to expire at the end of the season.

Sports Brief understands all signs point to a possible departure in the summer, with the Frenchman keen to continue his playing career elsewhere.

Paul Pogba informs teammates he will be leaving

And in what would pass as a foretelling sign Pogba will be exiting United, the midfield ace is said to have quit the club's WhatsApp group as he prepares for a move away.

The platform, Metro UK reports, is used by the club's players to communicate with each other.

According to The Mirror, the World Cup-winning star has already made his United teammates aware of his decision to depart.

The former Juve star has been tipped to make a switch to Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer.

Rangnick hints Pogba is on his way out

Reports on Pogba removing himself from Man United's WhatsApp group come just days after the club's interim boss, Ralf Rangnick, hinted the midfield maestro is on his way out.

Speaking after his side's Premier League defeat against Arsenal, Rangnick suggested it is unlikely Pogba will get a contract renewal.

"As it seems right now, he will not renew his contract and, I don’t know, maybe the club or Erik will not want to renew his contract. It’s most likely he won’t be here next season," he said.

Pogba disagrees with Rangnick over his injury

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Paul Pogba has claimed his season with Man United is not over despite interim manager Ralf Rangnick saying otherwise.

The Frenchman is currently battling a calf injury sustained during Man United's trip to Anfield.

The injury ruled Pogba out of United's recent outing against Arsenal at the Emirates which ended in a 3-1 defeat for the Red Devils.
