Man Utd plan upgrade of Pogba deal

Manchester United are ready to hand Paul Pogba a contract upgrade.

ESPN says United will not entertain any bids for Pogba and will even offer the midfielder a bumper new deal to keep him at Old Trafford.

The former Juventus star's current deal doesn't expire for another two years after he put pen to paper on a five-year deal upon his return to Manchester in 2016.

The Frenchman has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent days after talking up manager Zinedine Zidane in public.

"Like I've always said, Real Madrid is a dream for anyone. It's one of the biggest clubs in the world," Pogba said in France's pre-Moldova press conference last week.

"There is also [Zinedine] Zidane as a coach and it's a dream for anybody who likes football.

"For now, I'm at Manchester. We don't know what the future holds. I'm at Manchester and I'm happy."
