Manchester United have asked Paul Pogba and other wantaway stars to hold off on making any decisions over their futures until they appoint a new manager, according to reports.
The Frenchman is out of contract this summer and will be free to leave Old Trafford six years after signing for £89million.
Pogba and United have shelved contract talks with no breakthrough over an extension, at a time when United are in limbo over their managerial situation, having appointed Ralf Rangnick on an interim basis following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's sacking in November.
A decision on who will lead them beyond this season will be made in the summer.
ESPN reports that the club hope Pogba could be persuaded to remain in Manchester depending on who ends up being their manager.

Rangnick has spoken about remaining in his role beyond the current campaign. However the original plan was for him to take on a consultancy job and play a part in appointing the next manager - something it's believed the board are still focused on doing.
Mauricio Pochettino and Erik ten Hag are two of the favourites to be named the next permanent United boss.
Alongside Pogba, there are several other Red Devils stars who are considering their futures at the club.
Football director John Murtough has asked Anthony Martial and Donny van de Beek, both of whom headed out on loan last month, to reserve judgement on their futures until a new man arrives in the dugout.
Dean Henderson has also grown frustrated at playing second fiddle to David de Gea.
The goalkeeper spoke to Rangnick about leaving Old Trafford in January only to see his hopes knocked back.
Pogba has yet to play under the German due to injury, but is closing in on a first-team return at Old Trafford.
Despite his contract predicament Rangnick claims he will happily select the World Cup winner, with reports suggesting Pogba would be more inclined to stay if the current boss gets the job permanently.
He said: "Even if it's for only showing up for a new contract elsewhere, I mean, he will be highly motivated to do that. Why should I then not play him?"
He also highlighted: "By the way, my contract as a manager is also expiring in the summer.
"So we have the same goal, we have the same ambition to be as successful as we can possibly be in the next three or four months.
"For me, it's not a question if a player has an expiring contract. The question is how much does he still want to be a part of this group? How much does he still feel emotionally and physically on board?"
