Man Utd boss Solskjaer facing Pogba rethink

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could be forced to rethink his plans to sell Paul Pogba.

ESPN says before the coronavirus crisis struck, Pogba's future and fitness had become an irritant to Solskjaer.

However, it now seems as if the United star will find it difficult to leave the Theatre of Dreams behind at the end of the season.

Real Madrid remain interested, with Zinedine Zidane a huge fan of his compatriot having tried to sign him both last summer and in 2016.

And Juventus are also hoping to snap Pogba up, four years after he quit Turin for a stunning return to Old Trafford.

However, with the coronavirus crisis set to impact the summer transfer window, the 27-year-old may have no choice but to stay put.

Real have a new stadium to pay for and would reportedly prefer to save funds for Kylian Mbappe, who is the great obsession of club president Florentino Perez.

And Juventus' players recently took a pay cut with their financial situation bleak at the current time.
