Paul Pogba has been told to 'look elsewhere' once his contract at Manchester United expires this summer.

Pogba's personal trainer, Coach Meddy, also claims that he is 'wasting time' at Old Trafford.

The Frenchman's exit has been the subject of much speculation, given the imminent expiry of his current deal.

As it stands, the midfielder will be able to leave on a free transfer as soon as July 1.

This would be a huge financial blow to United who signed Pogba for £89 million in 2016, having let him go to Juventus four years prior.

The World Cup winner has failed to live up to expectations, though, with the Europa League and Carabao Cup the only silverware he has achieved with the Red Devils.

Pogba to leave Man Utd?

Meddy, who is in charge of maintaining Pogba's physical condition, claims that his client will not be staying at Old Trafford.

''At the end of June he will no longer be a Manchester [United] player,'' Pogba's celebrity trainer told Il Bianconero.

''I think it is right for him to look elsewhere, perhaps Manchester also wants to renew themselves and the most sensible thing is to separate.

''The time will come to change and try new challenges, new emotions, new environments for both Pogba and Manchester, to try something different and maybe they will both be happy.

''Right now, I think he's enjoying himself, they have a good team, especially since [Cristiano] Ronaldo decided to return. The problem is that the results don't come. A top player doesn't waste his time on minor competitions, he wants to be motivated to play for ambitious trophies.''

Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly interested in signing the 28-year-old, with Juve seemingly unable to match his wage demands.

A renewal with United hasn't been ruled out, but the noises coming out of Pogba's camp, albeit never his own voice, are that he is looking for a way out.
