United ready to sacrifice key man for Juventus mega deal

From every indication, English Premier League outfit Manchester United are ready to have French midfielder Paul Pogba in order to seal a transfer for Italian Serie A outfit Juventus winter Douglas Costa in this winter transfer window.

The Serie A champions have not hidden their wish to have the World Cup winner return to the club but the Red Devils have been keen to retain the player who is seen as a player for the now and the future.

However, the Red Devils might give in to Juventus’ wish in order to secure the signature of their long term target Douglas Costa from the Serie A outfit.

• Finally, United table bid for star defender

United are hopeful that they could make use of the French international midfielder as bait to have their wish for the Juventus star.

It is therefore not clear if the Old Lady would be willing to let the star winger leave the club anytime soon knowing that he might not be replaced despite not having enough playing time at the club.

Douglas Costa is believed to be frustrated at Juventus with the lack of regular playing time under the manager.

The chances of United having him are clear but they might be powerless in keeping Paul Pogba.
