Mathias Pogba claims that his brother and Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba wants to leave Manchester United. He said that the Frenchman cannot do everything on his own and should be let to join Real Madrid where he can add a lot of quality and joy to the side.

Pogba had admitted earlier this summer that he is looking for a 'new challenge'. However, he has kept his head down and trained hard under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as the Norwegian tries to bring Manchester United out of a rut. Pogba picked up 2 assists in Manchester United's season opener against Chelsea.

However, he commented following the game that there is a huge question mark over his future and now his brother Mathias' comments are on the same lines. He said,

‘Zidane is one of the greats and I think that if the club give him what he wants, he won’t have a problem, but if they don’t give it to him, he’s going to have a hard time because what he wants is not going to happen, because right now it’s a little late,’
‘My brother is missing and I think he needs another midfielder. ‘Of course Florentino [Perez] can get him, nothing is impossible in life. ‘I don’t think he’s worth 200 million, but now the football world is like that, Manchester are going to ask for a lot, but not 200. ‘It’s a delicate situation but the player has his personal goals, if you have to leave, well, that’s it.
‘If you can’t stay and play where you are, you can stay and you’re done. I can’t assure you that he is going to stay at United. ‘We know he wanted to move, but he’s not to blame. He’s waiting. He works hard and we’ll see what happens.
