Manchester United management are unconcerned over the prospect of Paul Pogba's contract rumours intensifying.
The Manchester Evening News says Pogba is into the final 12 months of his current contract at Old Trafford and he is yet to commit to an extension despite talks between the player and his agent, Mino Raiola, and United executives.
If Pogba doesn't sign a new deal before the end of 2021, he will be free to talk to clubs from abroad from January 1 and sign a pre-contract agreement that would see him leave on a free transfer next summer.
While speculation over Pogba's future has been relatively quiet since the start of this season, it could intensify if he enters the final six months of his deal and become something of a sideshow in the second half of the season.
United sources have stressed they are accustomed to being at the centre of transfer talk and aren't unduly concerned at the prospect.
