Pogba 'not against' PSG move as Anelka claims Man Utd star is 'not well psychologically' at Old Trafford

Paul Pogba is "not against" a move to Paris Saint-Germain, according to Nicolas Anelka, who has expressed his belief that the Manchester United star is "not well psychologically" at Old Trafford.

United spent a club-record £89 million ($119m) to re-sign Pogba from Juventus in 2016, having seen him emerge as one of the top midfielders in Europe after sending him off to Turin four years earlier.

"If he wants to come to Paris? I discussed that six months ago with him and he would not be against coming to PSG", Anelka said when discussing Pogba's future on RMC Sport.

"If he comes, we will forget all his injuries and we will see that he is a top player."

A man who also took in spells at Arsenal and Real Madrid at the height of his career went on to suggest that Pogba is struggling mentally in his current surroundings.

"But I think his injuries are due to his life in Manchester, because he is not well
