Paul Pogba wants to force through a Juventus move in January due to his poor relationship with Jose Mourinho and Manchester United, claims Tuttosport.
According to the Turin-based newspaper, Pogba is so determined to reunite with his old Bianconeri teammates and join the Cristiano Ronaldo-backed project that he is prepared to bail mid-season.
It would be an extraordinary twist in the tale, especially as Juve and Manchester United are going to face off in the Champions League group stage.
Due to the new rules laid down by UEFA this season, that wouldn’t make Pogba cup-tied if he were to switch teams for the second half of the campaign.
The 25-year-old France international is now a World Cup winner, but he was a teenage free agent when joining Juventus from Manchester United in August 2012.
He returned to Manchester for a then-world record fee of €105m plus bonuses in 2016, but his relationship with Mourinho deteriorated to the point of breaking down completely.
The Bianconeri have set their sights firmly on winning the Champions League this term, ending a 22-year drought in Turin.

I don't know if it's news media trying to sign Pogba or faceless individuals, as the news keep popping up every now and then, even when its obvious Pogba is going nowhere, crazy, awful and unfounded rumour refuses to go away. Continue

paul should please stay I know United can't function well with out a stable midfielder like pogba.... He's a very talented and an essential part of the team he's contribution and effort has helped the team especially this season.... If he leaves United will end up having problems with their team and midfield I want him to stay but a re union back at juve sounds pretty nice but still. United can't afford to loose him under any circumstances

pogba should stay he's much more needed at united he's a very valuable player if he leaves then United would b in chaos because I don't see anyone capable enough of filling in the shoes of Paul that's why he has to stay he has really helped the team. he's efforts hasn't gone unnoticed.. It's best he stays Though going back to Italy would be really great but United is he's home very soon things would start working well

This is simply the Ronaldo Effect still doing things in this aspect..Pogba and Ronaldo combination with Dybala, Chiellini and Bonucci's bounce back, I'm definitely convinced Juve is up to something very worth looking up to but #YnwaForEver tho 😱😱😱💪💪💪🔥🔥💯

I understand that newspapers have got nothing to write about,which means they won't sell anything.. Pogba is just being used with Newspapers so that they can sell their Local dailies More,since CR7 is now settled and they have got no more news to write about him...we are used to this...

I don't even understand where this media gets their news from. when and where did Pogba make this known? in fact, these group of people have caused a lot of disruption in manutd ds season so far. some days ago, Pogba was going to Barcelona while today, he is going back to Juventus. I won't be astonished if I wake up tomorrow with another news that he is going to PSG or any other club.

Juventus spent €100m on one player recently & are affording a salary of almost €50m a year for him, it's not that they have got money back through sales & made the investment, Pogba will not come for less than €150m, I don't see them affording that sum.
