Barcelona have decided to post a scout to every Manchester United game as they close in on Paul Pogba.

The Mirror says Barcelona's hierarchy - general manager Pep Segura and technical directors Eric Abidal and Ramon Planes - are keeping close tabs on the situation ahead of making a £100m-plus move.

The Spanish giants had spies watching him in the Champions League in midweek and plan to do the same for the rest of the campaign.

Barcelona believe Pogba is keen to move to Spain next summer having failed with an attempt to get him in the last window.

France World Cup winner Pogba has become Barcelona's primary target next summer and the Catalan club have now begun the operation to get their man.
