Barcelona management expect to wait 12 months before signing Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

The Daily Express says the Catalan giants are still keen on the Manchester United midfielder and will instead play a waiting game like they did with Liverpool's Phillipe Coutinho.

And this could mean hanging on until NEXT summer to get their man.

Jose Mourinho is unlikely to even consider letting him go this season - something Barcelona only now concede.

Mourinho has moved to quash any rift with the player and said during his weekly Press conference: "The truth is we are together for two years and a couple of weeks and I've never been so happy with [Pogba] as I am now."
