Olivier Giroud doesn’t see Paul Pogba heading to Inter Miami to join Lionel Messi anytime soon, despite the growing rumors.

Giroud, who shared the pitch with Pogba during their time with the French national team, spoke on the midfielder’s next move after his doping suspension was lifted earlier this year.

Pogba has been a free agent since January and has recently been linked to a move to MLS, particularly Inter Miami. However, Giroud thinks otherwise.

The ex-Arsenal and Chelsea forward, now playing for Los Angeles FC after leaving AC Milan this season, shared his thoughts in an interview with Telefoot.

“It was great to see him again,” Giroud said. “But honestly, I feel like he still wants to stay in Europe. I think that’s where his ambition lies.”

Pogba’s next club is still uncertain, but if Giroud’s take is anything to go by, the 32-year-old might not be ready to cross the Atlantic just yet.

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim admitted his team fell short after a disappointing 4–1 loss to Newcastle on Sunday.

The Red Devils endured their 14th Premier League defeat of the season at St James’ Park, struggling to match the energy and precision of the home side.

Sandro Tonali got Newcastle off to a strong start, but Garnacho brought United back into it with an equalizer. That hope didn’t last, though, as Harvey Barnes netted twice and Bruno Guimarães added another to put the game out of reach.

After the match, Amorim didn’t sugarcoat the performance. “We made too many mistakes,” he said. “Newcastle were better, especially with second balls. It’s not just one thing. It’s hard enough facing a strong side like this, but when we help them with our own errors, it gets even worse.”

Despite the setback, Amorim urged his team to shift focus. “We know we’re capable of doing better. What happened today can’t happen again on Thursday.”

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has chosen to leave Andre Onana out of the squad heading to face Newcastle in Sunday’s Premier League clash.

The decision comes just days after Onana’s costly mistake in their 2-2 Europa League draw against Lyon, where he let in a stoppage-time equaliser. Amorim has opted to give his first-choice keeper a breather, allowing him to reset mentally after recent struggles.

Stepping up in his place is Altay Bayindir, who’s now set to make his Premier League debut at St James’ Park. The Turkish shot-stopper will be looking to impress, with the return leg against Lyon at Old Trafford just around the corner. If he performs well, there’s a chance he might hold on to the gloves a little longer.

Though Amorim publicly backed Onana after the Lyon game, his decision to rest him this weekend suggests a need to ease the pressure. With United currently 13th and just seven games left, every decision counts as they push for a stronger finish.
