Juventus are ready to launch a €80m bid to re-sign Paul Pogba in January, according to reports in Italy.
TuttoSport say the Old Lady are preparing to splash the cash again to strengthen their squad with a view to winning the Champions League in 2019.
And they are ready to offer Pogba a chance to return to Turin, where he spent a hugely successful four years before his return to Old Trafford.
It is understood they are considering Pogba and out-of-favour Real Madrid midfielder Isco as transfer targets, and they are willing to offer Manchester United €80million for their midfielder.
But United might be reluctant to take a financial hit on the French World Cup winner after spending €105million to sign him from Turin in 2016.
Pogba has been heavily linked with a move away from Old Trafford after falling out of favour with Jose Mourinho in recent weeks.
He has been left out of the starting line-up in their last two games and has reportedly been "shocked" at his treatment by the Portuguese boss.
Yet Mourinho insists his absence is simply a case of managing his squad to bring the best out of his players.
He said: "I'm looking for him to play well, to have a good impact on the game and the team.
"A team without many miles on their legs. A team with some players who are not playing a lot.
"I hope that people like Paul and a couple of others, who are normally in the team, and have that number of miles that players need to be on the top level, can have an impact on the team."

pogba is that is probably why he was considered a superstar at Juventus, the premier league's much harder than the serie A, this means that in a less competitive league, that favored his playing style he came out as a bigger player than he actually is. Following this thought, I believe Pogba's overhyped he isn't a regular goal scorer, a regular assister, nor a defensive powerhouse. He is mostly a dribble and physical showman. Therefore in a league where all things are put to test he is lacking of something he never had. Lastly at Juve, he had a very solid defensive system with Chiellini Buffon etc… and that is very different at Man U, where he has much more defensive responsibility with a weaker system therefore that limits him going up the field. However with Matic that is changing. So Pogba is a good player but never a superstar he might have been considered one because he played in a weaker league, he's overhyped, and he has too much defensive responsibilities for his playing style!

Pogba with Ronaldo will that be a good combo?
