Juventus are once again being linked with a move for former player Paul Pogba.
It follows comments by the club’s sporting director Fabio Paratici in which he expresses his admiration for the player who left them to join United four yeas ago saying “We love Pogba, he’s a fantastic player”.
Pogba has enjoyed an indifferent start to the season at Old Trafford and has not been an automatic starter under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. He has also conceded three penalties, including the foul on Hector Bellerín at Old Trafford last Sunday which enabled Arsenal to beat them.
He is now into the last two years of his contract with the Premier League side, and, although there has been talk of an extension, nothing has materialised as yet.
Pogba has long hinted that he would like to leave United again, with Real Madrid also touted as a possible destination for the French World Cup winner.
If they can get a decent price for him United may yet be tempted to sell him to raise funds to invest in other areas of the side.
