Paul Pogba is ready to demand a transfer from Manchester United this summer.

That's according to The Times, which reports the midfielder will demand United sell him should they fail to qualify for the Champions League next season.

Pogba is a top target for Real Madrid and is eager to play for their coach Zinedine Zidane.

United currently sit sixth on the table and have Barcelona in the first-leg of the Champions League quarterfinals this week.

Zidane said last week: "I like the player a lot, I know him personally.

"He is a truly different player, few players can contribute what he can. He's a midfielder who knows how to defend, attack and build the play. He knows how to do everything on the field.

"But he is not part of my squad, he is at Manchester United, so we must respect that.

"What he has said about Madrid and his desire to come... if one day there is a possibility that he wants to leave United then why would he not come to Madrid."
