Speaking to reporters after the match, Pogba commented on recent rumours: "I'm just trying to do my job. For the rest there will always be talk."
However, he added: "It's not me who is talking."
Pogba's future at United has been the subject of much speculation, after coming under scrutiny for not living up to his £89 million fee since signing from Juventus two seasons ago. In recent weeks, rumours have intensified as reports suggested a deterioration in the relationship between the 25-year-old and manager Jose Mourinho.
Pogba even seemed to invite speculation himself on the eve of the match against Germany, saying: "My future is currently in Manchester, I still have a contract, I’m playing there at the moment, but who knows what will happen in the next few months."
Pogba, who won the World Cup with the France national team this summer, later said he was working to get back on form after returning late from the tournament.
He said: "I'm trying to work on myself physically.
"I got back late [from the World Cup] so I'm trying to perform as well as possible."
France next play Netherlands in the Nations Cup on September 9, before Pogba returns to Manchester United, who next play Watford in the Premier League on September 15.
