Barcelona director Ariedo Braida said the spanish giants are unlikely to move for Manchester United star, Paul Pogba after reports that Barca would sign him like they signed Coutinho from Liverpool last season.

Pogba’s future at Old Trafford has been called into question after a turbulent 2017-18 season in which he clashed with manager Jose Mourinho, who dropped the french man from his starting XI multiple times.
The France midfielder, who played a vital role in his country’s World Cup triumph this summer, has been linked with a return to former club Juventus, who recently signed Cristiano Ronaldo from Real madrid last month, as well as to the Spanish champions Barcelona.
Paul Pogba added more fuel to the fire after scoring in Manchester United’s 2:1 win in season opening match with Leicester on Friday.

“There are things I can say and there are things that I cannot say, otherwise I will get fined,” he told reporters when asked if he felt comfortable at United.
Despite the speculation, Braida said his side are unlikely to make a play for the midfielder.
“I don’t think we’re going to move for Pogba, but he’s a great player,” he told Radio Sportiva.
Though he has suggested all is not well at United, Pogba insisted that he will continue to give his all for the club.
