Manchester United have no plans to allow Paul Pogba to leave, it has been revealed.

United's board will NOT sanction the sale of Pogba because he is the club's 'Lionel Messi', according to reports from Spain.

The France World Cup winner has been at odds with Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho for quite some time now as United have struggled in the Premier League.

But Mundo Deportivo says there is absolutely no way United would sanction the sale of Pogba, even if the Portuguese wanted to part company with him.

The Glazer family consider the Frenchman, who came through the ranks at United before moving to Juventus, to be the club's 'Lionel Messi'.

The report adds that they consider the player to be a crucial part of their project, and that Ed Woodward also sees Pogba as 'untouchable'.
