Man City decline chance to sign Man Utd midfielder

Manchester City have declined the opportunity to sign Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba on a free transfer.

The Frenchman has snubbed a contract renewal with the Red Devils, and he will walk away when his deal expires on June 30.

Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus are among clubs vying to sign him, but it appears Manchester City won't be involved.

The Cityzens have been made aware of the midfielder's decision to leave United, but are not looking to pursue his services.

Pep Guardiola has had a frosty relationship with Pogba's agent Mino Raiola, and it could be a prime reason behind the decision.

Pogba has not confirmed his decision to leave United, but the lack of contract negotiations clearly suggest he is on his way out.

He may have already played his final game for the club, having picked up a calf injury during the Premier League defeat at Liverpool.

Interim boss Ralf Rangnick does not expect him to return this season.
