Mathias will be joined by brother Paul in searching for a new club this summer after it was revealed that he won’t be renewing his Man United contract

The 29-year-old’s contract with the Red Devils is up this summer and there’s no desire from either side to extend the relationship.

The French midfielder went off injured in United’s 4-0 defeat to Liverpool and will unlikely play for the club again.

Meanwhile, Guinea international Mathias has been shown the door by ASM Belfort after reportedly refusing to play for their reserve side.

The former Wrexham, Crewe, Crawley Town and Partick Thistle striker only joined the National 2 outfit last August.

Belfort president Jean-Paul Simon said: “We made a bad choice in signing Mathias Pogba. 

“You could say he was the wrong man for the job.

“Let’s say that we have recently opted to separate by mutual consent.

“I take full responsibility.  Plenty of bad decisions have been made this season, and I’m not very happy with what we have done.

The striker spent five seasons in England, plus a year in Scotland, before joining Sparta Rotterdam in 2016.

His twin brother Florentin plays for Ligue 2 club Sochaux, near to Belfort in eastern France.
