Real Madrid include James in new offer for Man Utd midfielder Pogba

Real Madrid have included James Rodriguez in a new offer for Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

The Times says United have rebuffed an offer of £27.4million plus the Colombian forward James.

The bid was way short of the £150m valuation United have put on Pogba, and boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists he will be staying put.

Solskjaer said: “I have no doubts at all that Paul still wants to play for Manchester United.

“He isn't injured, he's just in some pain and I wasn't going to risk anything this weekend with only eight days to go before the first game.

“I knew he wouldn't be travelling to Cardiff because I spoke to him about it after training on Friday and he wasn't right.

“He'll probably be back in training early next week and I hope he should be OK for Chelsea."
