He has been given more freedom, he’s encouraged to take more risks without fear and is playing further up the pitch.“He’s a very good athlete and it’s not surprising to see him play like this when he is allowed to do so. “It’s difficult to understand why Mourinho limited him so much when it’s clear to everyone how many attributes he has. He is an all-round midfielder who is also a leader in the dressing room.“I don’t think Manchester United fans need to worry about Paul Pogba leaving the club. “I think there was a time when he was eyeing a move to Barcelona and I wouldn’t be surprised if his agent still is, but the best thing Pogba could do would be to stay at Manchester United.“I think he can continue to improve so much more at a club where he has stability and can be the main man on and off the pitch.” Pogba is tied to a contract at United through to 2021, with that agreement including a 12-month option if no long-term extension is agreed before that point.He has 14 goals to his name this season – a personal best return – and is helping Solskjaer’s side to chase down a top-four finish in the Premier League and FA Cup glory. The Red Devils also remain in the Champions League for now, but Pogba will play no part in the return date of a last-16 encounter with Paris Saint-Germain having been sent off during a 2-0 first-leg defeat at Old Trafford.</blockquote>
