He’s got many things around him, social media life, but when you’re face to face with him, he’s very humble, a very nice guy, he has a good heart. I like him.” Pogba is nursing his way through a frustrating period of injury problems at present, with a niggling knock preventing him from making the desired impact in 2019-20.Much is expected of the France international this season after another summer of intense transfer speculation. It has been suggested that interest from the likes of Real Madrid has turned Pogba’s head, with United legend Paul Scholes saying of a divisive figure: "I think it's quite clear he wants to move on."He wanted to go to Real Madrid, for whatever reason it didn't happen."I wouldn't be surprised if the same offer had been made like with Cristiano [Ronaldo] when he was at United. "If they've asked him to stay for a year we'll see what happens, but I don't think he'll be a big loss to United."I don't think his form has been great anyway, over the two or three years he's been there. I'm sure there are more players who can do just as good a job." Pogba has taken in five appearances for the Red Devils this season, registering two assists but still waiting on a first goal after missing a penalty during a 1-1 draw with Wolves in August.</blockquote>
