class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Sportswear giants adidas reportedly played a crucial part in keeping Paul Pogba at Manchester United during the summer transfer window amid strong interest from Real Madrid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Pogba was heavily linked with a departure from United and Real were eager to sign the France international.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However, as reported by The Star On Sunday, adidas intervened as they believed it would be better for them from a commercial perspective if Pogba was to remain at United.<\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter

Raiola, and United, as they made it clear that they wanted him to stay at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Pogba is in the third year of a decade-long personal endorsement deal with adidas, while the German company are also United&#8217;s kit manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Although adidas also sponsor Real Madrid, the likes of Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema are also sponsored by the brand at the Spanish club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In contrast, at United, Pogba is seen as the key star as far as adidas is concerned.<\/p>\n<p
