Arsenal were interested in the midfielder before he joined United in a controversial deal in 2009.
The 18-year-old’s current contract with Manchester United is set to expire at the end of the current season.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is determined to keep Pogba at the club.
“If we hold Pogba back, what’s going to happen? He’s going to leave,” said the United boss.
“You know, in a couple of years’ time when his contract is going to finish.
“So we have to give him the opportunity to see how he can do in the first-team and he’s got great ability.”
