Yes, though Fergie recently hinted that he has two years remaining. Though I doubt he is aware of the expiry date of every players contract. There's very little chance of us letting him go though.

The author's wrong. He's not out of contract in the summer.
phew...
Somebody's kicking up a fuss though and the club needs to get to the bottom of it (if they already haven't internally).
Its disruptive all around.
Its disruptive all around.
Happens on a regular basis.The club are used to it.
He's got a future at Utd,I've no doubt about that
He's due a game at Aldershot in midweek, I suspect the jounos are bringing him up because we're about to see him again.
It's just ridiculous to think we'd go to all that trouble to get him, have SAF nearly say he didn't get Sneijder to make sure he could give Pogba games, and now people are supposed to believe we'll let him go without ever trying him out?
Of course these guys don't even believe what they write.

It's just some wannabe journalist spouting shite on his own little blog, not newsworthy.
Great limerick.
FixedOh great, a limerick.
Played well today, I thought. He's very composed on the ball, and looks like he knows exactly what he wants to do with it. There was one excellent pass with the outside of the foot to Valencia that I particularly liked.
He still looks that he is a bit restricted in his play so far, hopefully he'll show his full range of skills and passing, that'll come as he becomes mature though.
With a bit more confidence, I am sure we would see much more as he has plenty more to offer
I think he's being more restricted because the coaches have been working really hard on his positioning which has improved as has his work-rate. Him and Morrison seem to feed off each other well and I'd say Pogba's arguably already the best passer of a ball we have at this club.
Kept it neat and only negative was he had an opportunity to play Berbatov clean through instead of taking on the one shot he took. Hope to see a lot more of him.
Give over, he's not even played in the Premier League, how the hell can you decide this? Best passer we have statistically is Carrick, the best technically is Rooney.
I actually thought he played the Carrick role tonight and did so effectively. It's funny how people frap themselves off over one player and castigate another for the same style of play.
It's not an argument you'll have much luck with, I suspect.
I've never criticised Carrick for anything, ever. You can keep your stats too, I just feel Pogba has the best range, Carrick is better on his day but sometimes he's not as expansive as I feel he could be, Rooney too is great on his day but on others his weight of pass let's him down.
You've never seen Pogba against even not very good PL opposition. When given less time on the ball he'll not be as confident in his passing as he is against Aldershot, which still is nothing like the sort of range he shows off in the reserves.
It's about time and space. And Pogba's not anywhere near the best passer at this club, that's ridicilous. Even Park looked a bloody incisive passer out there against that lot. It's to be expected.
Ok I might have gone a bit overboard he's very good though and he will become our best passer. Happy now?
He's a great talent alright, I'll give you that.
Early doors though. Let's give him time. Showed that he has learned from his last outing against Leeds, much better tonight.
I agree with this, though he's still got a long way to go to prove this. Let's just say, watching himmfor the youth team I've seen him play some passes that not many of our first team players would be capable of. Thought he was very comfortable tonight. Wanted the ball a lot and rarely lost it, especially once he'd got into the game a bit.
The second point don't really make much sense because if you've seen Pogba, he's not a Carrick type of player. He played a role tonight, but he's much more potentially but we're talking about potential. I think offensively, he will offer far more then Carrick which isn't a slight on Carrick.
I hope we get to see him start a match this season. I'm sure we'll then see him less restricted, as we'll need to create the game rather than just see it out as has been the case in his 2 matches so far due to us being ahead by a few when he's come on.
I liked how he always wanted the ball and looked to receive it from the centre backs. In the first half with park and cleverly the centre backs were passing the ball too much amongst themselves with neither midfielder really wanting the ball.
Always available and looked pivotal in the middle. Team mates always looking to give the ball to him. Looked comfortale - but it was Aldershot.
Most of us have scoffed at the Vieira comparisons but he has a definite likeness in the way he runs. Looks like his legs are hurting. No, don't tell me.....

Another good run out for him, the biggest thing that stood out in his performance, and Ravel, they were constantly looking for the ball, no matter what part of the pitch, that is a very good sign. Delighted for both of them.
This!
Pogba have similarity's with Wellbeck. Tall and gangly but it's easy to see what a great procpect he is. As soon as he develop physically he will knock on the door to start in bigger games. This young man is raw but with bags of talent.
Let's hope he will continue his progress.
There's lots more to come from him. I think we probably asked him to be disciplined tonight and that's not really what he excells at but it's something to build on. Hopefully we get a good draw up until the final
The brightest thing about Pogba is his touch... He'll rarely lose the ball if he plays like this and the vision, game reading will improve on each game.
He's going to be a gem for us... Let's hope he progresses and does not get injured.

He reminds me so much of Viera.
He's pretty developed physically as it is.
He did well. Also showed good maturity to keep possession and use it intelligently. I agree that we will see more from him if he's chosen to start a game rather than protect a lead.
He'd be featuring regularly at Arsenal by now?
At the rate our midfield has looked he may be featuring regularly here by Christmas time.
Was he? We must have seen a different game.
From what I saw he gave the ball away A LOT especially in the first half. Got a little better in the second half. Still seems unable to collect/control the ball with and pass with one touch. Seemed to me that his decision-making is a little on the slow side.
Pogba looked good when he came on. Unflustered - passed the ball well. Good football intelligence. I liked him. Not sure if I could say much more than that. SAF will itnroduce him gradually and ask him to climb over obstacle after obstacle until he feels he's ready!
Looked much better than against Leeds (where to be fair he didn't look bad but just extremely nervous).
