PAUL POGBA has given his strongest hint yet that he will sign a new Manchester United contract with a cryptic tweet.
SunSport revealed last month how the Frenchman was close to ending speculation over his future by agreeing on a new five-year extension.

Pogba’s current deal expires next summer with the option of an extra year.
And with Manchester United qualifying for the Champions League, the 27-year-old appears seemingly content to help take United back to the glory days.
Taking to Twitter, he hinted at a big announcement by simply writing: “TOMORROW” alongside an eye emoji.
It has spread a sense of excitement among a number of United fans who believe boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can start building his squad around the midfielder.
One said: “He’s signing the contract, I love this.”
Another added: “Contract extension, let’s go.”
One even suggested he will combine the new alongside Jadon Sancho’s arrival.
They wrote: “Contract extension for our No.6 and announcement of our No.7 on the same day.”
However other supporters are predicting the underwhelming news that Pogba will instead be releasing another app – like he did in 2018 with his own emojis.
One joked: “If you hype us up like this only for it to be you releasing another app like last time I’m putting you up for adoption.”
Another added: “I know full well that this tweet has no correlation with him signing a new contract, but it’s not going to stop me from getting my hopes just to be disappointed again when he releases new dabbing t-shirts.”
Pogba was heavily linked with moves to Juventus and Real Madrid last season.
But that interest appears to have cooled with the coronavirus pandemic having a huge financial impact on transfer budgets.
Boss Solskjaer also remains confident of keeping the £89million man after describing his return to the squad as a “delight.”
Before United’s extra-time win over Copenhagen, he said: “Since coming back from injury he has been a delight.
“He has worked really hard, he is happy and he is playing well.
“We are going to see the best of Paul in the next couple of seasons, I’m sure.
“And I’m looking forward to seeing him grow with this team.
“He will have to be one of the leaders, one of the main figures, because he is just coming to his peak time as a footballer at 27.
“I am really looking forward to working with him.”
Pogba endured an injury-ridden start to 2019-20 season but has appeared in all of United’s games since the season’s restart.
