ROBIN VAN PERSIE has begged Paul Pogba to end the “mysterious” uncertainty over his Manchester United future by speaking out about his current situation.
The former Arsenal and United striker pleaded with the World Cup winner after he was ruled out for the next few weeks after aggravating an ankle injury.
Speaking on BT Sport, Van Persie said: “It’s a bit mysterious to me, it’s a bit of a grey area.
“I think it’s important that Paul speaks out himself and really says what he feels inside his body.
“Does he want to stay, does he want to go?”
Speculation he could be off to Real Madrid is rife and it only increased after Pogba was left out of the current squad with another injury setback for their match at Arsenal.
Rio Ferdinand added: “That’s the big thing, if I was someone advising Paul, I would say ‘go on, you’re your own man, your voice is going to be heard the loudest.
“Don’t let your agent speak, shut your agent down, you speak and add some clarity to this situation so the fans know where you’re at, your team-mates know where you’re at and the club, your manager and people that are important know where you are.”
Pogba had played 27 minutes against Watford, before adding another 45 in the 4-1 win over Newcastle on Boxing Day.
But the club are in the midst of a midfield injury headache after Scott McTominay was ruled out for at least two months with knee ligament damage.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said before the game: “He’s injured, so he’ll be out for a while, it’s the same ankle that he’s struggled with for a while and we probably won’t see him for a little while.”
