Pogba pushing for Man Utd exit as Juventus encouraged

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is targeting a return to Juventus this summer.

There's been claims Pogba would now more open to the idea of remaining at the club thanks to their improved form and the opportunity of playing alongside exciting new signing Bruno Fernandes in midfield.

However, Calciomercato.com has reported that Pogba is still keen on a move - and his former club Juventus will make him their number one target for the summer transfer window.

Juventus are prepared to pay 100million euros (£90m) for Pogba, which would see United roughly break even on the £89m they paid the Italian club to sign him in 2016.

It's suggested United extending the 27-year-old's contract would simply be a ploy by United to gain a better negotiating hand for when the transfer window opens and bids start coming in for Pogba.
