Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard’s time at Manchester United will come to an end after contract expiration, the club confirmed. Pogba was re-signed from United from Juventus in 2016 but failed to deliver on his huge promise, struggling with consistency at Old Trafford.
While Lingard joined the United Academy at the age of seven and was a member of the 2011 FA Youth Cup-winning squad. He made his United debut against Swansea in August 2014.
