Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted he is keen to keep young midfielder Paul Pogba out of the clutches of AC Milan and Inter, but the player’s agent is making life difficult.

 

Pogba has not yet signed a new contract at Old Trafford and the 18-year-old has been interesting both Milan clubs, who spy a bargain.

 

Ferguson though is sure that the former Le Havre youth product will not be heading away from the Red Devils just yet, as the Scot insists the English giants hold a 12-month option on his present deal, which has yet to be activated.

 

"Pogba has an agent who has obviously become a bit difficult", said Ferguson.

 

"But we are negotiating and we want the boy to stay.

 

"If he doesn’t want to there is not a lot you can do about it. You just hope he gets the right advice.

 

"We have an option on his contract so in that respect there is not a great emergency. But if he wants to be a Manchester United player he knows what to do."
