Man Utd boss Solskjaer pleads with Pogba: One more season

Paul Pogba may get his dream move to Real Madrid, but only if he stays with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Manchester United for one final season.

That's according to the Daily Mail.

The Frenchman has been heavily linked with a move to Spain, while a return to Juventus could also be on the cards. However, United are unwilling to drop their £160 million valuation for the player and that is becoming a stumbling block in negotiations.

Both Madrid and Juventus are restricted financially this summer, with Real having already splashed out £130million to sign Eden Hazard from Chelsea, while Juve are still feeling the effects of last year's £99m move for Cristiano Ronaldo, who is said to be on around £75m a year in wages.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will ask Pogba to pledge to one more season in Manchester, with the incentive of letting him go in 12 months' time.

The proposal is claimed to have the backing of several United bigwigs.

Real and Juve will both likely be in stronger positions to recruit Pogba next summer.

And Solskjaer reportedly hopes that a good season from the 26-year-old would increase the player's value and help United collect their £160m asking price in full.
