Interim Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick says he will continue to play Paul Pogba - even if the France midfielder is only motivated by a transfer away from the club.
Rangnick says Pogba wants to show fans "what kind of player he can be".
German Rangnick added: "Even if it's for only showing up for a new contract elsewhere, I mean, he will be highly motivated to do that.
Rangnick hopes Pogba will be ready to play in the FA Cup fourth round tie against Middlesbrough on 4 February and said he does not know what stage the Frenchman's contract talks are at.
"By the way, my contract as a manager is also expiring in the summer," Rangnick pointed out?
"For me, it's not a question if a player has an expiring contract.
"I think it's also got to do with a lot of different things in his head.
"But now it's about the transfer to when he's playing and showing the same kind of level and performance on the pitch."
