Paul Pogba has refused to rule out a return to Manchester United after being quizzed on his future at an awards ceremony in the United States.

United are in pole position to sign the France midfielder in the event he leaves Juventus this summer.

Real Madrid are thought to have cooled their interest in Pogba amid doubts over whether he is worth a world record £90 million fee and concerns about upsetting the club’s wage structure by inviting a flurry of demands for pay rises from existing players.
