  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Pogba has been linked with clubs around the world – from the Saudi Pro League to MLS – but may be heading back to his homeland. He has expressed a desire to find Champions League football again, and could get that at Stade Velodrome in 2025-26.

• WHAT MASON GREENWOOD SAID

  Greenwood would like to see a familiar face alongside him at Marseille, telling of links to his former Old Trafford team-mate: “He's a great man, professional, who has taken me under his wing. He's a top player. Any team in Europe would love to have him. If he came here it would be great.”

  Questions have been asked of how long Greenwood will be sticking around at Marseille, given his fine form, but a man tied to a contract through to 2029 added on his future: “Stay here for many years? Of course. It's something I'd like to do, I want to win trophies here and play in the Champions League. It's a big ambition to be here, so yes.”
