Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has revealed it would be a 'dream' for him to play for Real Madrid.

Pogba has long been linked with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu and, currently away on international duty with France, the 27-year-old was asked about a possible link-up with Zinedine Zidane in Spain.

"Many things have been said," he replied. "What can I say? Of course, every player would love to play for Real Madrid. It would surely be a dream.

"It's a dream for me and why not some day? [But] as I have said before, I'm at United and I love my club.

"I'm going to give everything to enjoy myself here and to put the club back where it belongs."

Pogba's contract expires at the end of this season - though United can activate the option of a further year until 2022 - and the midfielder admits he has not personally spoken with United about a possible new deal yet.

"They have talked a lot, but I haven't," he said. "I prefer to concentrate on my game and on my return [to form] above all.

"I haven't spoken to Ed Woodward. We haven't spoken about a renewal. Now I'm here and I'm only thinking about returning to my best form.

"I imagine there will be a moment when the club will come and talk to me and maybe propose something to me. Or not.

"At the moment there's nothing and I can't talk about what I don't know. I'm just thinking about me, about enjoying myself again."
