Manchester United’s route to sign Paul Pogba ‘is now clear’ after Real Madrid dropped out of the race to sign him, according to reports. Pogba has been linked with a move away from Juventus this summer for a world-record fee, claimed to be at least £100million by most sources.

There have been countless claims on the 23-year-old’s future, with United ‘ beginning negotiations‘ for his signature last week, the player ‘ telling friends he wanted to return ‘ to Old Trafford the next day, and it then emerging that any potential move was ‘ not even out of the starting blocks ‘ come … [Read more...]

Hirving Lozano unaware of Manchester United interest
The president of Grupo Pachuca has laughed off talk of Manchester United signing Hirving Lozano and claimed it is simply “not true”. United were thought to be closing in on the signing of 20-year-old Mexico star after the Pachuca vice-president and the player’s father-in-law, earlier this week, suggested a deal was on the agenda. “Yes.

Everton boss Koeman says Juan Mata signing is possible
Everton boss Ronald Koeman admits a deal for Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata is possible. The Spaniard’s future at Old Trafford is in doubt following the arrival of Jose Mourinho and when asked by fans, whilst signing autographs, whether a move for Mata was on the cards, Koeman replied: “Yes, it is possible.” The 28-year-old attacking midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to Everton and reports in Spain on Friday suggested that the Toffees were in pole position . The arrival of Henrikh Mkhitaryan has no doubt shunted Mata down the pecking order of Old Trafford, now managed by the man who sold Mata from Chelsea. Reports earlier this week suggested that Everton had tabled a £20million offer for Mata, who played under Koeman during his … [Read more...]

With Jose Mourinho considering wielding the axe on Memphis Depay’s career at Old Trafford, Serie A champions Juventus could be the ones to profit. Manchester United winger Memphis Depay could be on his way to Serie A , as Juventus are considering making a bid for the Dutchman.

With new boss Jose Mourinho looking to rebuild after a season in which the Red Devils failed to qualify for the Champions League, Memphis could be one of the first to be sacrificed under the new regime. This has alerted Juventus, who are keen to … [Read more...]
Pogba to Manchester United: £102m deal agreed in principle
Manchester United have ‘agreed a world record £102million deal in principle’ with Juventus to sign Paul Pogba, according to reports in the Spanish press.
