The Juventus star has been strongly linked with a summer move away from Turin, with Real Madrid and United understood to be leading the chase for his services.
United, who sold Pogba to Juventus in 2012, are reportedly keen to re-sign the midfielder for a world record fee of £100 million.

Appearing on ESPN last night, Pogba was handed Man United, Juventus and Real Madrid shirts.
When handed the Juventus jersey, Pogba replied: “It’s my team, my family. It’s where I’m playing. When I wear this [shirt], I’m happy, I’m happy to play football. It’s something I’ve wanted to do since I was little. I’m happy here.”
He was then handed a United shirt, to which he first made a joke – “I don’t know them!” before adding: “It’s my first family.”
When pushed on his response should Jose Mourinho bid for him, Pogba replied: “I don’t know. We’ll see. For the moment, I am here [Juventus] and I am happy here, but I don’t know where I want to go.”
On Real Madrid, Pogba said: “A great club.”
When pushed again on which club he prefers, Pogba opted against making a choice by adding: “I’ll take all three.”
