Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has reportedly told his teammates he will be going at the end of the season and also left the squad’s WhatsApp group..

Interim manager Ralf Rangnick confirmed that Pogba is out for the rest of the season after picking up an injury early on in the 4-0 defeat at Liverpool last Tuesday.

The 29-year-old’s current contract expires at the end of the season and United’s £89million club-record signing looks certain to leave Old Trafford for a second time on a free transfer.

According to the Daily Mirror, Pogba has told team-mates he is on his way this summer, and is even said to have left the WhatsApp player group the squad uses to stay in touch.

He has also received two contract offers amid interest from Real Madrid and PSG.

It comes a few days after Pogba said that his career with Manchester United is ‘not over’ despite Rangnick’s comments.

Pogba went off with an injured calf inside the first 10 minutes of United’s 4-0 humbling at Anfield.

He was the subject of a smattering of jeers from the away supporters section following the booing he received at Old Trafford against Norwich.

As he made his way towards the tunnel after the full-time whistle, Pogba held his hand by his ear towards the direction of the Stretford End.

It all appeared to suggest that the Frenchman had played his last game for the club, with even his current manager appearing to believe that the case.

However, the midfielder tweeted during his side’s loss to Arsenal that his time in Manchester was ‘not over’.

He wrote: ‘Absolutely gutted to not be able to help the team in today’s game. I will work even harder to come back stronger and hopefully before the end of the season.

‘It’s not over,’ he added. ‘Thank you all for your support, United we would stand!’

Jesse Lingard, Nemanja Matic, Edinson Cavani and Juan Mata are also expected to leave the club on free transfers during the summer window.
