United will be forced into Pogba negotiations

Manchester United are extremely reluctant to consider their immediate future without Paul Pogba. Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer recently tried to play the speculations around the midfielder down by saying that Pogba would be a part of that future, but according to Marca, the 20-time English champions will be forced to enter negotiations about a potential sale.

The Spanish outlet claim that the 2018 World Cup winner has already made his mind up and wants to leave Old Trafford for Real Madrid this summer. He has apparently already instructed his agent Mino Raiola to find a way for the move to happen and wants to be a Real player by July 1st. Pogba did recently say that playing for Real Madrid would be a dream for any player.

United, on the other hand, will have learned a lesson from the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009, and will demand players in return for Pogba with Gareth Bale and Raphael Varane seen as possible counterweights.
