Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is confident that young midfielder Paul Pogba will commit his future to the club by signing a new deal.

The 18-year-old's future has been the subject of much speculation in recent weeks, with Chelsea and Juventus reportedly interested in his signature.

However, Ferguson believes that Pogba, who made his Premier League debut against Stoke City last night, wants to stay at Old Trafford.

"Pogba did very well [against Stoke]," Ferguson told reporters. "The boy has great talent and tremendous physique for an 18-year-old. You can't believe it.

"We are negotiating his contract at the moment. It is a bit complicated at the moment because he has changed his agent a couple of times.

"But the boy wants to stay, that is obvious. Hopefully we can get it done soon."

Pogba joined the Red Devils in 2009 as a youth player.
