What Pogba said about Real Madrid move after 1-0 defeat to Barcelona

Manchester United midfielder, Paul Pogba, was coy about questions about moving to Real Madrid, following their defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.

Luke Shaw’s own goal in the first half, was enough for Barca to secure a 1-0 victory to take back to Camp Nou ahead of next week’s return leg.

Pogba has been heavily linked with a move to Madrid in recent weeks, although Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is adamant that he wants the French World Cup winner to remain at Old Trafford.

When asked by reporters after the game if he would like to play in a Clasico against Barca, Pogba replied: “Yes, when we play the Champions League it’s always nice to play against Barca, it’s a dream for anyone.”

But when the question was repeated with a more direct reference to Real Madrid, Pogba smiled and said: “I won’t answer that. I will only speak about the game, nothing else.”
