His agent Mino Raiola said: "United will not accept any bid this summer.

"We're going to speak about a new contract soon, no stress."

Raiola also told Sky Sports: "He is key player for Man Utd. They've an important project and he's 100% included."

Pogba, whose deal runs until next summer, made only eight appearances in all competitions before English football was suspended in mid-March because of the coronavirus pandemic.

After recovering from his ankle injury, the World Cup winner played 14 games following the resumption and helped United reach the last four of the FA Cup and Europa League and qualify for next season's Champions League.
