Paul Pogba prepares to sit down with Manchester United to discuss a new contract, according to a report.

Paul Pogba is reportedly preparing to sit down with Manchester United to discuss a new contract.

The player has had a new lease of life at United since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took charge of the 20-time English champions, who have won each of their seven games since Jose Mourinho's departure.

Pogba was strongly linked with a move away from Old Trafford in the latter stages of Mourinho's tenure, with Barcelona and former club Juventus credited with an interest.

The 25-year-old won four Serie A titles with Juventus between 2012 and 2016 and recently said that Turin was 'his home'.

However, according to The Sun, Pogba now wants to hold talks over a fresh contract at Old Trafford, with his existing deal due to expire in the summer of 2021.

The same report has claimed that the midfielder is currently on £290,000 a week but wants an increase to around £500,000 a week to match Alexis Sanchez's pay packet.

The France international has scored 10 times and registered eight assists in 26 appearances in all competitions for United during the 2018-19 campaign.
