Pochettino wants to build his PSG around Man Utd ace Pogba

PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino wants to bring Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba back to France.

The Mirror says Pogba is wanted by Paris Saint-Germain - with Pochettino making the Manchester United star his top transfer target.

The French midfielder, 27, is desperate to leave Old Trafford and United are ready to sell him at the end of the campaign.

But while Real Madrid - or a second spell at Juventus - had appeared his most obvious destinations, that picture has changed following Pochettino's arrival in the PSG hot-seat.

The ex-Tottenham manager, who assumed the reins in Paris last week, believes Pogba is the perfect player to rebuild a new team around.

Despite going off the boil at United - and losing his place earlier this season - the 2016 France World Cup winner is still one of the hottest properties on the football planet.
