Manchester United have reportedly made contact with Paul Pogba’s agent regarding the signing of a new contract.
The midfielder made no secret of his desire to leave Old Trafford in the summer, suggesting he was ready to pursue a ‘new challenge’.
He was heavily linked with Real Madrid as well as a move back to Serie A giants Juventus.
However, with the European transfer window now closed, United have got the World Cup winner until January at least.
Pogba, 26, has started all four of the Red Devils’ Premier League matches so far this season.
And according to L’Equipe via Metro, United’s executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has got in touch with Pogba’s representative, super-agent Mino Raiola to ask if the player wants to extend his stay.

The France international’s current deal at United expires in 2021 and is likely to take some persuading to sign a new deal.
He is understood to be on £290,000-a-week, so a vastly improved offer may be difficult to achieve.
Pogba’s brother, Mathias, told El Chiringuito earlier this week: “Paul knows that he cannot leave Manchester United so he’s going to focus on this season.
“It’s not easy right now, because he has a lot of responsibility in the team, a lot of big players have left.
“The only great player is [David] De Gea, the goalkeeper, which means he’s going to have to put a lot of effort in every game.”
