Jose Mourinho was chasing the Atletico Madrid forward this summer in move worth around £84m before the La Liga side’s transfer ban was upheld and Griezmann decided to stay to help the club out.
Before that, it threatened to turn into a summer-long saga, like the one Pogba himself was involved in last year, which culminated in an £89m world-record transfer from Juventus.
And while United may go back in for the 26-year-old once Atletico’s ban is over, Pogba he would not be upset if his close friend opted to move to Manchester City instead.
Pogba told Telefoot: "I wish for his happiness. If that is at Atletico - or at City - I will handle it. He is one of the best players in the world.
"If Zlatan [Ibrahimovic] is happy elsewhere, then I am happy for him."
