Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is likely to leave Old Trafford this summer with Real Madrid and Juventus both chasing the midfielder, according to Sky in Germany.

The 26-year-old France midfielder would prefer to join Zinedine Zidane’s side in Spain, per the same source.

United want to keep Pogba at least until the end of the season due to a lack of replacements available on the market in January.

But a summer deal will be difficult to conclude for any club, with United understood to want a fee in the region of £150m for the World Cup winner.

United have reportedly drawn up a three-man list of potential replacements for the France international.

According to the Daily Mail, Maddison, Grealish and Van de Beek will all be targeted in the summer if the France international leaves, while United also want to complete a move for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes this month.

The report adds that United would be open to negotiating with any of their targets this month, but understand that completing a deal in January would be unlikely.

There is also a complex relationship between the club and Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola, who brought him back to Old Trafford from Juve in 2016.

Any deal for the figures United are understood to want will be hindered by Pogba’s lack of appearances. He is presently recovering from an ankle operation and will not be back until after the winter break.

So far this season the midfielder has made just eight appearances in all competitions – six at the start of the campaign and two more in December after a 10-week lay-off due to an ankle problem.
