Hello Ed002,
Pardon me, I have a very basic doubt regarding triggering of one year extension of the Pogba's contract. As you have repeatedly mentioned that this contract extension can not be used for profiteering. What does that mean?
We have bought Pogba for around 89 million and does that mean,
A) we can sell pogba for a price less than or equal to 89 million? so, selling him more than 89 million means Profit for the club.
b) We will not be able to sell even for 1 Euro? Because the Price we bought is irrelevant and event 1 Euro is considered as Profit for the close?
{Ed002's Note - It means that Manchester United cannot extend the contract to simply sell next summer in order to make a profit. If they wish to sell next summer they have to reach an agreement with his agent (who they are not talking to) and ask to share the income from the sale.}

Thanks Ed for the reply. As per the current situation, We will not be able to sell him till 2022 June?
{Ed002's Note - No. Unless he signs a new contract he will be a Free Agent then. As I have explained, they could sell him in January, but if they wish to sell next summer they have to come to an agreement with his agent about the money - which he would agree to in order to get him out - but finding a buyer might be hard.}
