Paul Pogba has given a strong indication that he wants to leave Manchester United this summer to seek a "new challenge".
The French World Cup winner rejoined United from Juventus for a then world record ?89 million ($112 million) fee three years ago, but has largely failed to live up to expectations.
Pogba has been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid or even a return to Juventus with United having failed to qualify for the Champions League next season.
"For me I have been for three years in Manchester and have been doing great; some good moments and some bad moments, like everybody. Like everywhere else," Pogba was quoted as telling reporters in Tokyo by The Guardian on Sunday.
"I think for me it could be a good time to have a new challenge somewhere else. I am thinking of this: to have a new challenge somewhere else."
