Paul Pogba is under fire once again after a picture showing him and Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane surfaced online. The latest photo also triggered speculations that Pogba is leaving Manchester United for Real Madrid. However, Manchester United’s Ole Gunnar Solskjaer downplayed the issue while Zinedine Zidane calls the meeting a mere coincidence.

In a conference held last Friday, Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane clarified that him meeting the 26 years old French footballer was a complete chance. Express Sport shared images that show Paul Pogba seemingly having a chat with the real Madrid boss. The French central midfielder was at Dubai rehabilitating in the Far East for his ankle injury, which will keep him from joining Manchester United’s showdown with Liverpool.

It was a complete chance that I was there, and he was there too. We spoke because we know each other, Zidane shared. The Real Madrid boss, however, is not willing to share the details of what they have talked about. Paul Pogba has recently uploaded several photos on Instagram, showing the details of his workouts as he attempts to get back in shape.

Zidane disclosed that he and Paul Pogba had known each other for a long time, and when they bumped into each other in Dubai, they talked. It can be recalled that Paul Pogba previously stated that it would be a dream for football players to play under the leadership of Zidane. Mino Raiola, Pogba’s agent, is reportedly increasing the pressure on Manchester United to sell the Frenchman in the upcoming transfer window.

Meanwhile, Manchester United’s Ole Gunnar Solskjaer downplayed the photos and said that he has no problems with it. When he was asked about it, he revealed that he has not heard Paul Pogba say that he doesn’t want to stay at Manchester United. Ole reiterated that Pogba wants to be at the Old Trafford and play well.
