Juventus remain interested in re-signing Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba this summer.

A move away from Old Trafford appeared inevitable for the Frenchman following a series of bust-ups with former boss Jose Mourinho. 

But Pogba's fortunes have improved along with the rest of the United squad since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came in, helping his side win five in a row.

It remains to be seen if he will stay with United beyond this season with Juventus and Barcelona both monitoring his situation.

And reports in Italy suggest United would be open to letting Pogba go this summer if they can take someone from Juve in exchange.

Tuttosport reports United have offered Juve a deal which will see Douglas Costa move in the opposite direction.

The Brazilian has been on United's radar for some time and there were reports a deal had been lined up for Costa before Jose Mourinho's exit.

Meanwhile, Juventus remain close to tying up a deal for Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey.

The Welshman is a free agent at the end of the season and can reach a pre-contract agreement this month.

Juve remain in the driving seat but the deal is not yet done with Barcelona also keen.
