Paul Pogba has exclusively told Mail Sport that he was open to joining Manchester City in 2022 – but felt he had no option but to leave the city for personal reasons.
Guardiola wanted to add a new versatile central midfielder to fill the void left by captain Fernandinho, who was leaving at the end of 2021-22 season.
Pogba was a free agent that summer and City explored the possibility of signing the midfielder, despite his links to arch-rivals United.
In an exclusive interview with the 31-year-old midfielder in Paris on Wednesday, Pogba confirmed that he was aware of the interest from City at the time. But staying in Manchester wasn’t a realistic option.

Looking forward to the return ✊
He wouldn't have got near the City team. Bang average player
This interviewer is terrible he cant get answers out of paul
Goat is back ❤
His heads fallen off! Lights are on but no one is home
This guy is an absolute scumbag. A club breaks a world record fee for him and he wants to run off to their rivals for basically zero fee. Mercanery of the highest order wanting oil money while robbing what he could from United before. Wanted easy trophies didn't want the fight, was never up for the fight so Pep rejected him.
I really wish he would of went to city and played under pep lol then we would of seen what the British media would of said than m, because pogba under pep would of been a joke 😂 they would of hated him even more
Paul❤1 love 💞👏❤
It's hard to feel sorry for a guy who was the highest paid in the league playing awful football, more interested in his social media presence and fortnite dances. Expect a Saudi move
imagine pogba and debruyne together
1Ravel Morrison; Jamaica 🇯🇲 football a joke thing… for the midfield troubles get Ravel n Tyreek Magee in…
Goes to show that Pep was or is losing his way chasing the likes of Pogba.
First Grealish, then Pogba…
PSG!
The 🐐 never went anywhere
If Pogba had gone to City……His Career would have taken a different Direction….United is a Talent Wrecking Organization……If you think I am wrong check their record after Memphis Depay…..
Now we know what happened with Paul at United. He never wanted to be there but was forced to play under
ole and he didnt play whole heartedly after that.
I just believed all these interviews ll lead pogba to answer a wrong question an the medai will came after him
Shame he was brought back into a weak team. Had it been a strong developed team maybe he would be the key to win leagues and champions leagues
The interviewer is terrible, you ask a question and while he's answering, you divert to something else completely different, I still wanted to hear more on the Mourinho issue, on the pre-season etc….
yeah right, you really think Pep would want midfielder like him ? ball hogging all the time, Pep wanted his midfielder to be quick thinking and move fast, that's why he never wanted Yaya Toure
Paul Pogba you are a 🐍 glad your in the Utd squad anymore we are better off without you
This interviewer is so bad
How many interviews did Pogba have that day😂
What a joker😂
You're a merchanary Pogba you were a Petulant person moody used to love you but your behavior towards the end was absolutely horrible
Come Chelsea
