Manchester United star eyeing Real Madrid transfer

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has his sights on joining Real Madrid, a report from Marca claims.

The Frenchman has made a sublime beginning to the current season with five assists in the opening two league games.

Despite this, his future remains uncertain with his existing contract due to expire at the end of the campaign.

United are optimistic of keeping him at the club, but Marca claims that the midfielder has the ambition to join Madrid.

Los Blancos seem unlikely to make a late approach for his services this summer with their focus on landing Kylian Mbappe.

However, they could return for him next year. Pogba is free to negotiate a pre-contract with an overseas club from January.

He has reportedly told his agent Mino Raiola that he would give preference to join the Madrid giants over any other club.

Paris Saint-Germain were heavily linked with a summer move for Pogba before the huge outlay in wages to land Lionel Messi.
