Man Utd ace Paul Pogba set to stay at Old Trafford.

Raiola says Pogba is at the centre of an important project at Manchester United.

Pogba has less than a year left on his current United contract.

Agent Raiola has reiterated that midfielder Pogba will be staying at Old Trafford this summer. 

Football agent Mino Raiola has confirmed that Paul Pogba will continue to ply his trade at Manchester United beyond this summer.

The midfielder's agent Raiola was speaking in an interview with Sky in Italy when he said the Frenchman is a key player for the Red Devils and is close to signing a new deal at Old Trafford.

Pogba has been linked with several sides across Europe including European heavyweights Real Madrid and his former club Juventus.

"Pogba is staying at Manchester United and I think they want to extend his contract," he said as Sky Sports quoted.

"He is at the centre of an important project, they will not accept any bid for him this summer.

"Even in the past years Manchester United were never willing to open talks [regarding a move away for Pogba]. He's not the kind of guy to create controversy. We need to be calm, especially in such a moment, and we'll see how it goes.

"We will negotiate for an extension very calmly, without stress. We will continue our talks."
