Juventus refuse to give up on Pogba

Juventus director Beppe Marotta insists the club will not give up in their pursuit of Manchester United starlet Paul Pogba.

The midfielder looked destined to sign for the Turin giants in the summer as reports claimed he had agreed to move there.

But since then, it has been suggested Pogba has decided to remain at Old Trafford and sign a new deal at the club.

His existing contract expires in the summer and, having recently come on as a substitute in United's 2-0 win over West Brom, some sections of the home support booed the 18-year-old.

Pogba's future remains in doubt, however, and Marotta says he will do all he can to get the Frenchman to move to Turin.

Marotta told Tuttosport: "I am optimistic regarding Pogba.

"I know that Manchester United are trying everything to keep him there but he has a bright future if he finally comes to Turin."
