Questions continue to be asked of Paul Pogba’s future as he heads towards free agency at Manchester United, with the likes of Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain said to be closely monitoring the midfielder’s situation.Ex-Red Devils defender Mikael Silvestre has – speaking in association with <a href="https://www.slingo.com/" target="_blank">Slingo Casino</a> – told GOAL when quizzed on where a fellow Frenchman could end up: “The top clubs are still an option.“A Paul Pogba at full fitness and full of confidence is a world-class player. We saw that at the start of the season with the assists, we know he can produce magnificent football. Those teams will be hoping that they can get a consistent Paul Pogba.”On PSG specifically, Silvestre added: “I love France and I love it as a starting point but let’s be realistic, it is the fifth league out of the top five in Europe. Outside of PSG, the other teams are struggling to compete. I don’t think Pogba would prioritise that.“But if the idea is to win the Champions League and join Neymar and Messi and have a go for a few years to try and do that, then it could be an option. On a league level, it is not where the first choice should be.”
