Gary Neville believes Paul Pogba has had his head turned by other clubs and no longer wants to play for Manchester United.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pogba was named in the PFA’s Premier League Team of the Year<\/a> this week but the Frenchman’s commitment to United has been questioned throughout the campaign.<\/p>\n

Why is Pogba’s Man Utd future in doubt? Five key things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Pogba has been linked with the exit door several times since returning to Manchester United from Juventus in the summer of 2016.<\/li>\n
  2. The midfielder’s strained relationship with ex-manager Jose Mourinho resulted in fresh speculation about his future.<\/li>\n
  3. Like many of his teammates, Pogba’s form drastically improved following the arrival of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Old Trafford.<\/li>\n
  4. But Pogba’s commitment was once again questioned during United’s disastrous 4-0 defeat at Everton and Wednesday’s 2-0 loss to Manchester City.<\/li>\n
  5. The 26-year-old has previously called Real Madrid a “dream club”<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Neville has been critical of Pogba in the past but has also praised the former Juventus star’s “world-class” ability.<\/p>\n

    However, Neville believes Pogba’s agent, Mino Raiola, has allowed his client’s head to be turned by providing the option of a move away from United.<\/p>\n

    “I think he is world class,” Neville said of Pogba on\u00a0Sky Sports<\/a> before the Manchester derby.<\/p>\n

    “I don’t think he wants to be here, that’s his problem. I think his agent’s into him.<\/p>\n

    “I said two or three months ago when he was brilliant for Ole \u2013 and he’s been brilliant for Ole by the way \u2013 but I honestly thought a couple of months ago, we sat in this studio at the Liverpool game and everything was brilliant about Paul Pogba, and I said \u2018I believe that it will resurface, the issues will resurface\u2019.<\/p>\n

    “We know his agent, we know the influence he has on him, we know that Pogba has got his head turned by other clubs.<\/p>\n

    “And he’s playing like somebody who has had his head turned, he’s playing like somebody who doesn’t quite want to be here.”<\/p>\n

    Where next for Pogba?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Pogba’s season has been deemed frustrating by many, but his figures have been impressive, to say the least.<\/p>\n

    With 13 goals and nine assists, he has been directly involved in more goals this season (22) than he has in any other single season in Europe’s top five leagues.<\/p>\n

    With that in mind, it wouldn’t be hugely surprising to see the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona go in for Pogba.<\/p>\n

    Earlier this month, Madrid boss Zidane said<\/a>: “If, when he finishes his experience at United, he wants to come here, why shouldn\u2019t he come to Real Madrid?\u201d<\/p>\n

    Solskjaer reacted to the speculation by insisting Pogba will still be a United player in 2019\/20.<\/p>\n

    The Norwegian said<\/a>: “I cannot see him not playing for Manchester United next season.\u201d<\/p>\n
