Former Manchester United defender, Wes Brown has weighed in on report linking midfielder, Paul Pogba with a move to join Barcelona.
Pogba has been heavily linked with a move to the La Liga champions this summer following several bust-ups with the Red Devils manager, Jose Mourinho last season.
The France international was handed the captain’s armband for Friday’s Premier League 2-1 victory over Leicester in Antonio Valencia’s absence.
Brown, however, has dismissed the report linking Pogba with a move away from Old Trafford, stating that the midfielder is committed to United.
“Pogba will be staying,” Brown told Starsport.
“He’s a Manchester United player. He was captain on Friday, scored a penalty, had a great World Cup and I’m hoping that he just keeps that going and has a fantastic season for United.
“Maybe he’ll be given a bit more freedom this season, especially with Fred there now and still Matic to come in.
“Fred looks like to get around the pitch, it looks like he likes defending so that may mean Pogba can advance a little bit.
“We’ll just have to see, it’s a bit early at the moment to see how that plays or whether he does become more attacking or if he’s more defensive.”
