Manchester United have made it clear they are shifting direction under Ruben Amorim, with fresh ideas taking priority over nostalgic reunions.
The Red Devils continue to weigh their midfield options with the summer window approaching.
Christian Eriksen is expected to depart, opening up a slot for a creative playmaker in Amorim’s new-look squad.
Names like Morgan Gibbs-White have been floated internally, with his form at Nottingham Forest attracting increasing interest from top clubs.
While fans have pushed for headline-making moves, the club’s recruitment team is focused on building a side that reflects long-term ambition rather than short-term sentiment.
Amid a flurry of speculation, reports linking Paul Pogba with a shock return to Manchester United have officially been shut down.
The French international, who was banned from football for 18 months after testing positive for elevated testosterone levels in August 2023, recently became a free agent after leaving Juventus.

Despite encouragement from former United players such as Louis Saha, who felt Paul Pogba could “excite” fans if played alongside the likes of Amad, it appears the club isn’t entertaining a reunion.
Transfer expert David Ornstein responded to the growing speculation during a Q&A with The Athletic, where he was asked directly whether Pogba was “under consideration” at Old Trafford.
His response was blunt, “It is not on either party’s agenda. He continues to train ahead of joining a club this summer.”
Ornstein confirmed that while there is “plenty of interest” in Pogba, he is “not aware of a firm decision being taken” about the player’s future.
Pogba’s last stint at United ended in frustration, with inconsistent performances and injuries hampering his ability to make a lasting impact after his record-breaking return from Juventus in 2016.
Now at 32 and returning from a ban, Pogba’s future remains uncertain — but it won’t be at Manchester United.
The club is instead expected to pursue younger, more dynamic midfielders to suit Amorim’s pressing style.
