Paul Pogba would break the hearts of his Manchester United team-mates if he decides to leave Old Trafford this summer, according to reports.
The 28-year-old will enter the final 12 months of his deal in June and has been repeatedly linked with former club Juventus.
The Frenchman’s agent Mino Raiola has previously linked the midfielder with a move away, and should he leave Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side this summer, The Sun claim that would devastate other members of the squad.
The report adds despite his uneasy relationship with the Old Trafford faithful due to the constant links away, he remains a hugely popular figure within the dressing room.
A source told The Sun: ‘Paul may be regarded with suspicion by a lot of the fanbase because of his agent courting other clubs, but there is no doubt where the players stand with him.
‘They recognise he is one of the team’s stars and he is as desperate as they are for the club to be successful again.
‘He is well-liked by all his team-mates and no one wants him to leave. But they also understand if a player is unhappy, it usually leads to his departure.
‘They all hope he will start the next season at Old Trafford.’
The report comes more than a week after claims in Italy the World Cup winner will almost certainly leave United this summer.
Tuttosport revealed that a ‘divorce suits everyone’ could happen at the end of the season and it will be down to agent Raiola, rather than Pogba or United, as to what happens next for the midfielder.
Pogba was brought back to Old Trafford for a record £89million in 2016 but has failed to live up to the lofty expectations set following his arrival.
The Frenchman made the switch from Manchester to Turin as an academy star back in 2012, before returning four years later.
