It’s been a transfer saga and a half but Manchester United may have found their resolution…
Paul Pogba shocked the world when he moved from Juventus back to his boyhood club Manchester United. At the time, his £89m fee was the world record but this was obviously smashed out of the park by Neymar at Paris Saint-Germain. The French midfielder has done excellently but he still receives his critics, many would argue unjustly.
Perhaps this swayed his decision to leave Manchester United, as reported by L’Equipe. The French outlet reports that Pogba has informed his teammates at Old Trafford that he wishes to leave the Red Devils. It’s also reported that Manchester United will not turn down a move from Real Madrid this summer.
