According to a report in the Express, Manchester United record signing Paul Pogba has been offered to Barcelona, Chelsea and Real Madrid. The report also claims that Pogba himself would prefer to move to Barcelona and to work under Ernesto Valverde. Pogba has struggled to impress after his much publicized move from Juventus to Man United and also has had an up and down relationship with his manager Jose Mourinho. Although, Manchester United have signed Fred this summer, he is not a direct replacement for the Frenchman. In fact, Fred is someone who will allow Paul Pogba more freedom to go forward and attack.
It is highly unlikely that Manchester United will allow Pogba to leave this summer. But the Frenchman need to improve drastically or else might find himself on the selling list when the next window comes up. The upcoming world cup will be a major challenge for Pogba who has struggled to perform for his national team in recent times.
