Paul Pogba met with Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane - fuelling fresh speculation over the Manchester United star's future.
Pogba and Zidane - both World Cup winners with France - chatted by a pool in Dubai after meeting up during the international break.
United star Pogba, who will miss Sunday's clash with Premier League leaders Liverpool with an ankle injury, has been recuperating in the Middle East during the break in the domestic schedule.
Zidane wanted to sign £89million star Pogba in the summer, but United rebuffed Real's interest in the midfielder, insisting the 26-year-old was not for sale.
Pogba has been in Dubai during the international break, after being left out of the France squad due to injury.
Real Madrid boss Zidane was in the Middle East speaking at a conference relating to the integration of Artificial Intelligence in the sports industry.
Zidane has made no secret of his desire to take Pogba to the Santiago Bernabeu and pursued a summer switch - only to fail to convince Florentino Perez to spend big on the midfielder.
However, with United struggling in the Premier League, just two points above the relegation zone, Pogba is set to push for a move again next summer - with Real his likeliest destination.

pogba is a great player but our squad is waayy too weak atm, and he has to end up basically carrying the whole team, but he needs more players around him.

I mean if you asked me whether I want to play around Modric, Kroos, Casemiro or McTominay, Fred, Lingard. It's obvious which one I would pick 😂

Pogba is indisputably one of the best midfielder in Europe and also one of quality players in United today, Fans loved him & they don't want him to leave, but if wanna go nobody will stop him but his dream team thought he didn't worth the price United is asking for. Forgetting that Pogba is the most costliest player in Europe when United bought him from Juventures despite be our academy materials, we bought him because we need him & he worth it, but Madrid now dragging their feets & sluggish to price him away, instead Zidane is playing cunny, come out straight with CASH we gonna release him pls. We sold Beckham, Nisteroy, World best CR7 to them, United still won cups & played UCLA final, so if he wanna go allow him but replace him with another quality, don't made a mistake like you fail to replace, LUKAKU & Herrera.

Pogba he's now playing for money but Neymar is a good example for him as he can see players who are not playing for desire just playing for Fame and Money. That's how their career would be ending

🤦♂️ people are always talking saying what they think they know but in actual sense, they don't really know what they are saying 🤭. Which part of their future and what they choose to do with it concerns you 😏

I dont rily know wat real Madrid is trying 2do. they arent playing any beter despite having world class players... anada1 4rm chelsea is wit dem. is he any beter dan wat he was at chelsea? no, but dwindling. players must also take note of wen & where they go to, lest dey sign off dea carriers. some teams am sure jst nid new techniques. .. luk at Liverpool ...only1 or two or even zero 1 can point as stars but we rily enjoy dem play as a team. so, sometimes, we mustnt always luk at players... who to buy, etc. are dey going 2b ok wit mngr's style of play? most mngrs canot cope wit absence of great players like cr7; luk 4some1 who knows how 2make a starles team gel...klop is 1 of such, 2nded by pochettino at par wit probably pep.
