Paul Pogba set to sign new United deal thanks to Ronaldo effect

Paul Pogba is 'leaning' towards signing a new contract with Man United, according to The Athletic.

The Frenchman's current deal expires in less than 12 months, and there has been no progress in talks between the club and the player.

However, the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo and the immediate impact he had on the team mean there's a solid chance Pogba will reconsider his future.

Among many factors Paul takes into account, one is how successful United are this season - and the recent events have had a profound effect on the player's thinking.

From January, Pogba can talk to foreign clubs, including Real Madrid and PSG, so Man United will be interested in ending the uncertainty about his future before that.
