The problem though, is that United aren’t the only team that are interested in his signature as Real Madrid also want to sign him to.

The business could gather some pace once Pogba returned from his Euro 2016 duties with France.
Pogba is one player who can play at the heart of the midfield and likes to control games, helping his defensive line at times and pushing forward to create and score goals, as and when needed.
Juventus midfielder Pogba, 23, made just seven appearances in all competitions for United before moving to the Serie A side as a 19-year-old in the summer of 2012.
Paul Pogba is now nearly certain to move back to Manchester United – even though he would have “preferred” going to Real Madrid, according to Sky Sports. The highly-rated French midfielder has been linked with a money-spinning return to Old Trafford this summer, and Ferdinand has revealed he was shocked Pogba was ever allowed to leave.
With United willing to pay a world record fee, Real chose to stop pursuing the player, despite an impending transfer ban which will see them fail to strengthen their team in the coming days. United has to make amends for a year ago, in which it only finished fifth in the Premier League – which means it will not see Champions League action next season.
Real Madrid were reported to have dropped out of the race for Pogba’s signature over the weekend, citing economic reasons for giving up their pursuit.

Pogba’s participation in Euro 2016 came to a disappointing end on Sunday after Portugal’s shock 1-0 final victory over Les Bleus, with the Juve talisman now expected to mull over his future in the coming days. In addition, Manchester United will pay the player 15 million euros per year and will sign for five seasons.
