Paul Pogba has told fans in New York that he will stay at Juventus this season, despite being widely linked with a world-record transfer to Manchester United.
It has been claimed in recent weeks that the 23-year-old is on the verge of joining Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford in a £112m deal, which would make him the most expensive footballer in history.
Reports in Italy have suggested that the deal could eventually cost United £226m with add-ons, bonuses and salary.
However, there is yet to be an official announcement regarding the move, and now the player himself has thrown a spanner into the works by seemingly telling two supporters that he will remain with the Serie A giants.
During a holiday break in New York, Pogba was approached by two members of the IFTV channel, who asked him outside of his hotel if he was staying at Juve.
While signing a Juventus ball, the France international replied: "Yeah."
Pogba's trip to the US city raised eyebrows as it coincided with Real Madrid's visit as part of the club's pre-season tour.
Madrid have previously been linked with the midfielder's signature.
