Football rumours: Paul Pogba stalls contract talks after Liverpool drubbing

·2 min read

What the papers say

Paul Pogba has stalled contract talks with Manchester United following the club’s 5-0 loss to Liverpool, the Sun reports. The midfielder, who was sent off in the defeat, is believed to have since shelved negotiations for a new deal, with his current contract expiring in the summer.

Staying with United, the paper also says club bosses have drawn up a four-man shortlist of potential replacements for manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Zinedine Zidane, Antonio Conte, Leicester’s Brendan Rodgers and Ajax boss Erik ten Hag have all been identified as possible candidates to fill the role if the Red Devils decide to move on from the under-fire Norwegian.
