Paul Pogba has dismissed reports linking him with a return to Juventus from Manchester United.
Pogba scored a deflected winning goal in France's opening game of the 2018 World Cup against Australia, as Les Bleus were forced to grind out a 2-1 win.
The 25-year-old flattered to deceive at times for United throughout this season, sparkling only intermittently, and reports have suggested that Juve could attempt to buy him back, after selling him for a then world-record fee of £89 million (€101m/$118m) in 2016.
However, Pogba has brushed aside those suggestions, insisting he is solely focused on the World Cup.
"I am with the France squad, I don't want to speak about the future of the club and all this," he told reporters.
Having previously played for Juve, Pogba concedes that he does speak with Paolo Dybala, the club's mercurial striker, but he maintains it means little.
"Yes, I speak with Dybala, but whether I speak to Dybala or speak with (Samuel) Umtiti, who plays at Barcelona, it's not there I will go and play there!"
