Paul Pogba is pulling back from new contract talks with Manchester United, it has been revealed.

Tuttosport says Pogba is waiting for a chance to return to Juventus next year and is therefore stalling on a renewal of his United contract.

The Frenchman, who moved from the Old Lady to United in 2016 for a then-world record deal of £89m, has constantly been linked with a return to the Serie A champions.

With Andrea Pirlo, who Pogba played alongside in midfield during three of his four years in Turin, now the manager at Juventus, the 27-year-old is eyeing a reunion for 2021.

The French World Cup winner currently has a deal at United until next summer, though there is an option to extend that by a year to 2022.
