Manchester United reportedly maintain their stance that Paul Pogba will not be sold during the January transfer window.

Ever since the 26-year-old revealed in the summer that he wanted to take on a new challenge, speculation has persisted regarding his next destination.

Real Madrid have been frequently linked with an approach for the France international, who has barely played since September due to injury.

However, despite the playmaker's prolonged spell on the sidelines, the Daily Mail claims that he will not be allowed to leave Old Trafford at the start of 2020.

While it is suggested that United may be delaying an inevitable parting of the ways with their club-record signing, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to keep Pogba as an option in his squad for the second half of the campaign.

United are likely to demand in excess of £100m for the World Cup winner in the summer.
