Italian reports suggest Paul Pogba has been offered to Juventus, but he could remain if Zinedine Zidane replaces Jose Mourinho at Manchester United.
The France midfielder wore the Juve jersey from 2012 to 2016, earning a then-world record transfer fee of €105m.
Multiple sources have pointed towards Pogba’s desire to leave Old Trafford and return to Turin.
According to Rai Sport this evening, agent Mino Raiola has been in repeated contact with Juventus to assure them he is ready for the transfer.
However, there is the belief that all this could change if Mourinho is fired and replaced by ex-Real Madrid boss Zidane.
Pogba has made no secret of his tense rapport with the Portuguese tactician and the club owners may well be forced to make a choice between the player and his Coach.

When are people going to see the reasons behind the recent childish behavior of Paul (and his agent). People blame Mourinho for Paul's obvious frustration and the selfishness of his agent. Zidane or no Zidane, Mourinho or no Mourinho; Paul is Paul and may not be better than he already is. I say this for a variety of reasons: 1. Paul is proud and overrated; a very bad combination for a player as young as he is. We all have read at one point or another how hardworking and devoted people like Ronaldo are in attaining their present heights. Paul has the elegance of Ronaldo but not his commitment to hardwork. He has a high market value but being a footballer is a different thing altogether. 2. Paul is playing the blame game inorder to mask his deficiencies in the Man Utd color. He has not justified his price tag, and the only way to hide it is to blame Mourinho for not getting the best out of him. Big players to wait for the coach to bring the best out of them; they make themselves indispensable. Paul has not done that. He has been exposed because there is no Arturo Vidal to hide those weaknesses. And by the way, Italian is no Epl. 3. Finally, Paul is Mino's investment. Mino stirs the waters so Paul could make a move, and you know what that means for bank account. Do not be fooled, Zidane cannot replace Mourinho. And worse still, Paul will be doing himself a great disservice is leaves United.

This Pogba issue has been dragging for quite a while and he haa become the topic at United. Manchester United is not about one player!! The reason why this squad is not performing is not all about Mourinho's tactics but such individuals who think they are bigger than the club and need the manager to beg them to perform. When a player puts on that jersey he should play with passion for the club and fans like the players who dominated the EPL and caused havoc in Europe with Fergie! Pogba and Martial have been given more chances to prove Mourinho wrong but they still dnt show that passion. City plays as one and so does Liverpool, though they have individual stars but on the pitch they are one and thats what wins matches! These 2 guys should just be sold and let United be known as a team not individuals who make noise for all the wrong reasons!!

No player is bigger than a club if he wants to leave let him, sick and tired of this shit and this Zidane saga also, I'm sorry but managing a team like Real Madrid and United are totally different for one EPL there is more competition more demanding from a manager than La Liga, in La Liga there is only two teams in it every season plus Madrid have a fantastic squad anyone would do well with that team it was or ready a quality team before Zidane got oppointed and United are a work in progress ever since SAF. EPL is a better and more demanding league so is Zidane the right man for the job I dont think so. The only good thing would be he could attract players that's it. We need to stick with Mourinho he as all the experience needed we need him long term. Mourinho still asn't built the team he wants and the board need to back him we needed to strengthen are squad in the transfer window but didn't and look what's happened. You can't put all the blaim on Mourinho it's just as much Ed Woodward's fault. If Mourinho get the backing from the club success with come. We have players who are not United quality and theirs quite a few. We need to get rid of deadwood players and strengthen especially in defence. We need to be patient success doesn't come over night.

Paul for me is different when playing for france than Manchester united, since sanchez came to united he became envious of him bcos of his high wages,I know is talented even a blind coach knows that,but his agent(fat thief)corrupted him made him a slave to earn money from another club. The best that would happen to paul is hi-time he part ways with him join another agent that knows football not money be focused He become the paul that we all know,

The question is not that where Pogba wants to go the Que is who take the bus. If Man. Utd. will fire Mourinho will he retain the bus.This is such a big question..Now they're painting the bus again and Mourinho's name on it. If they fire him the big question raised what Mourinho do with the bus.Will he take it with him as a reward or park at Old Trafford.. Would he miss the bus?

Bro I do understand but come to think of it, Mourinho's tactics is affecting. For me I think Mourinho needs to step down
