Juventus boss Max Allegri is confident Paul Pogba will snub mega-money Manchester United move to stay with Italian giants
Frenchman has been heavily linked with return to Old Trafford, but Bianconeri manager planning on him staying in Serie A
JUVENTUS boss, Max Allegri, is confident Paul Pogba will NOT join Manchester United this summer.
The French superstar has been heavily linked with an imminent world-record-breaking return to Old Trafford.
However, Allegri addressed the issue in a press conference in Melbourne, insisting that, while anything can happen, he is hopeful Pogba will remain a Juventus player.
He said: “Right now he’s still a Juventus player.
“We don’t know what will happen in the course of the next week, but we’re confident.”
United boss, Jose Mourinho, refused to confirm or deny the Red Devils were in talks with Pogba.
But the number six shirt has suspiciously been left free ahead of the upcoming season.

Allegri, meanwhile, appeared happy with his side so far following their summer business.
He added: “At the end of the transfer window we’ll have a very strong team. Dani Alves, [Medhi] Benatia, [Miralem] Pjanic and [Marko] Pjaca have come in.
“When the window closes the team will be very strong.”
Juventus have been crowned champions of Italy for the past five seasons but will be hoping to challenge for the Champions League.
Most the club’s recent business has been done via free transfers such Andrea Pirlo, Alves and Sami Khedira.
But the mega sale of Pogba would see Allegri able to spend big and compete with other European powerhouses for players.
