Manchester United's board will side with Paul Pogba if it becomes a choice between the midfielder and manager Jose Mourinho.
Sport says United will back Pogba over Mourinho if the war between the two worsens.
Pogba has clashed repeatedly with Mourinho over the last six months, leading to talk of an Old Trafford exit.
It is understood Barcelona are determined to sign the France international and pair him with former Juventus team-mate Arturo Vidal in the middle of the park.
Manchester United, though, insist Pogba is not for sale at any price.
But the United star's future remains uncertain and it's suggested that United will side with Pogba rather than Mourinho if things worsen.
