Manchester United identify three possible Paul Pogba replacements

Manchester United have identified three players, who could replace midfielder Paul Pogba during the summer transfer window.

The Frenchman has only 14 months remaining on his deal, and there has been no progress over a renewal.

According to The Mirror, United may be forced to consider Pogba's departure if they are unable to extend his contract.

Leicester City's Wilfred Ndidi, West Ham United's Declan Rice and Atletico Madrid's Saul have been identified as replacement options.

Ndidi is the most affordable of the trio at £50m. Rice is valued at twice the figure, while Saul could only be sold for his release clause.

The Spaniard is a long-term target for the Red Devils, but they are unlikely to trigger the mammoth £130m buy-out clause on his contract.

United are planning to make multiple signings this summer. Their main priority remains a right winger and centre-back.

Barcelona's Ousmane Dembele and Villarreal's Pau Torres have been regularly linked over the past few weeks.
