Juventus have failed with an opening swap offer for Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

While confirming they're keen to bring Pogba back to the club, Juve chiefs do not have the cash to meet United's asking price.

Instead, reports Calciomercato.com, they've made an opening swap attempt - which was immediately rejected by United.

Juve offered Aaron Ramsey and Douglas Costa in exchange for Pogba.

The Bianconeri are expected to try again with a new combination in the coming days.
