Manchester United confident of Paul Pogba stay?

Manchester United are increasingly confident that midfielder Paul Pogba will put pen-to-paper on a new long-term contract.

The Frenchman has been with the Red Devils for the past four and a half years and during this period, he has divided opinion among the fans.

Pogba's inconsistency has been criticised in the past, but he has recently excelled for United with winning goals against Burnley and Fulham.

According to The Mirror, the United hierarchy are increasingly confident that the midfielder will commit his long-term future to the club.

Pogba's agent Mino Raiola has recently talked up a possible exit, but the midfielder believes he can win more silverware with the Red Devils.

The Mancunian giants recently came from behind on the road to register a 2-1 Premier League triumph over relegation-threatened Fulham.

The victory sees them top of the standings with 40 points, two ahead of arch-rivals Manchester City, who have played a game less.

Pogba should be in action for United this weekend when they host Liverpool in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
