Paul Pogba talk banned by Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri as £100m man's move to Man United remains in the balance

Massimiliano Allegri has banned talk of Paul Pogba’s future.

The Juventus coach refused to speak about the £100m Manchester United target’s future ahead of the Italian champions’ friendly clash with Tottenham in Melbourne.

When asked by Sportsmail for an update on Pogba’s situation and whether he thought the Frenchman would be with the club at the start of the season, Allegri revealed that he would not speak any more on the matter.

'I am not going to talk about the transfer market news we are just here to get ready,' he said.

'The club is going to talk about the transfer market and they are doing very well so I am happy in that regard.'

Allegri, however, did comment on Tuesday night’s match against Spurs at the iconic MCG.

He believes that the fixture will be of higher intensity than Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Melbourne Victory at the same venue.

‘Expect more intensity,’ he said. ‘We are going to see a very different and more intense game.’
