Paul Pogba has insisted he is only focused on Manchester United amid speculation linking him with a move away from Old Trafford.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola claimed ahead of April's Manchester derby that Pogba's agent Mino Raiola had offered the France midfielder and his team-mate Henrikh Mkhitaryan to City during the January transfer window.

Jose Mourinho has told Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba he expects 'a certain level' of performance from him in every game

Pogba has returned to form in recent weeks after struggling to make an impact earlier in the campaign, scoring twice as United came from behind to beat rivals Manchester City 3-2 away on April 7.

He also turned in a man-of-the-match performance in United's 2-1 FA Cup semi-final win over Tottenham on Saturday as they booked a place in the Wembley final on May 19.

Asked about the rumours linking him with a summer move, Pogba told Canal Football Club: "Right now, I am at Manchester United and I am honestly only thinking about the present. Transfers are not in my head.

"We are in the [FA] Cup final and the World Cup is around the corner."

Questions have also been raised about his relationship with manager Jose Mourinho but Pogba was keen to stress everything is fine between them.

"I don't have a problem with him, and I don't think he has a problem with me," Pogba said.

"He's the coach and he has to make choices. I am a player and I accept them. I have to answer on the pitch."
