Manchester United will not entertain any offers for Paul Pogba before the close of the European transfer windows early next month.

Pogba, 26, admitted he was still uncertain about his future at Old Trafford after Sunday’s impressive 4-0 win over Chelsea, when he set up United’s third and fourth goals.

With the Spanish and Italian transfer windows not shutting until Sept. 2, there remains the option for Pogba’s two main suitors, Real Madrid and Juventus, to test United’s resolve over Pogba in the coming weeks.

But United have no intention of allowing Pogba to depart on several grounds. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer considers Pogba to be central to his plans this season and, encouraged by the France midfielder’s attitude and application after a summer of heavy scrutiny, he is confident the player will be fully focused on the job in hand.

Moreover, with the Premier League transfer window closing last Thursday, there would be no opportunity to bring in a replacement for arguably their best player and, having failed to strengthen the midfield during the summer, they are already relatively light in that department.
