'Maybe Ten Hag won't want him' - Ralf Rangnick expects Man Utd star to leave

Ralf Rangnick believes Paul Pogba has played his last game for Manchester United and is at odds to explains his struggles at Old Trafford.

World Cup winner Pogba is expected to leave the club for a second time when his contract expires at the end of the season.

The 29-year-old has made more than 200 appearances since returning to Old Trafford in 2016 but there is a sense we have not seen the best – or at least the most consistent – Pogba in a Red Devils shirt.

With Pogba likely to be on the sidelines for the rest of the season after suffering a calf injury during the 4-0 defeat to Liverpool earlier this week, United fans may not even get a chance to say goodbye to Pogba, although that could be for the best as he has been booed during recent matches.

While incoming manager Erik ten Hag could yet have the final say on Pogba’s future, Rangnick says it is ‘likely’ that the Frenchman will leave this summer.

Rangnick, who has been in charge of United since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s sacking in November, also admitted he was unsure why Pogba has flattered to deceive at Old Trafford since his £89m return.

‘It’s difficult to say. If myself or other coaches knew, it would be easier to change that, but I don’t know,’ Rangnick said.

‘Right now it doesn’t make sense to think about that because he won’t be available for [the Arsenal match] and most likely not for the upcoming games.

‘As it seems right now, he will not renew his contract and, I don’t know, maybe the club or Erik will not want to renew his contract. It’s most likely he won’t be here next season.

‘He’s a player who won the World Cup; he’s such a good player that he was a regular starter for France. We all know what kind of potential he has and what kind of good player he can
