Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is out of contract in the summer but is open to offers from other Premier League clubs to stay in the division, according to the latest reports

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is reportedly open to offers from other Premier League clubs when his contract expires in the summer.

The 28-year-old has only four months left to run on his current deal, which runs out on June 30, after which point he will become a free agent.

Pogba remains undecided on his future and wants to focus on his return from a groin injury and having a strong end to the season.

According to The Telegraph, the Frenchman could decide to stick around at Old Trafford, although he is expected to receive offers from any number of Europe's elite - including United's Premier League rivals.

The former Juventus midfielder will be one of Europe's hottest properties if he chooses to leave the Red Devils, just six years after rejoining the club for a then English transfer record of £89.3million.

Pogba will consider all options, including an extension to his United deal, and is willing to entertain approaches from other Premier League clubs, the report claims.

Only a finite number of teams worldwide could afford the star, who reportedly earns a whopping £290,000-a-week at Old Trafford.

Money is of no problem to Premier League teams, with English top-flight sides among the richest on the planet.

Some have even entertained a move for Pogba before.

Chelsea tried to sign the midfielder when Jose Mourinho was in charge in 2015, but the player's agent Mino Raiola revealed it 'wasn't the right time.'

Raiola, a tough businessman who always does the best by his players, also offered Pogba to local rivals Manchester City in 2018, but Pep Guardiola opted against a deal.

Reports in France towards the end of 2021 also claimed Raiola offered Liverpool the chance to sign the United star, although nothing came of it.

For now, Pogba is focused on ending the season strongly with United, and he earned praise from Red Devils boss Ralf Rangnick after coming on for the final 17 minutes in their 2-0 win over Brighton.

"It was important to keep control and possession of the ball and that's why I decided to bring on Paul," said Rangnick.

"Since he was out with a long-term injury it was good to rest him in the first-half and to have him available for the last 20 minutes of the game."
