Zidane gives massive update about Pogba leaving Manchester United

Man Utd news: Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane drops Paul Pogba transfer hint

Manchester United will do well to prevent Paul Pogba from leaving this summer and Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has hinted a move to Real Madrid could be on the cards, according to GOAL.

The midfielder joined the Red Devils from Juventus for £89 million three years ago, but recently admitted he was looking to seek new challenges in his career.

When asked about Paul Pogba’s, Zidane replied: "We know with the club what we want to do, and we are working on what we want to do.

"What I'm looking forward to is tomorrow's match and working bit by bit.

"We have time for the rest, and we'll see what will happen."

Real look as though they mean business with key signings including Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic and Ferland Mendy needing to perform as the club strive to regain the ground they lost to Barcelona last season.

Maurizio Sarri ‘s side have been linked with a swoop for Pogba however, reports have suggested he favours the Spanish capital and that Madrid have made him their top target.

New Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri said on Saturday he was a fan of Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba but he did not know if the Frenchman would be leaving England to join the Seria A champions.

Pogba's agent recently told The Times that the 26-year-old intends to leave the Premier League club, while the player said in Tokyo last month he could seek a new challenge elsewhere amid reports linking him to Juventus and Real Madrid.

"I like very much the player but I don't know the situation. I am not the technical director," Sarri told reporters in Singapore ahead of Juventus' International Champions Cup match against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said this week he wants to build his team around Pogba, describing the World Cup winner as a "fantastic human being" and "great professional".

Pogba has blown hot and cold in his second stint at the club despite scoring 31 goals in 142 appearances.

Manchester United take on Inter Milan at the national stadium in Singapore later on Saturday.
