Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba believes he can still move to Real Madrid beyond the Premier League transfer deadline.

It's been suggested United will insist Pogba won't be allowed to leave past the August 8 closure of their window.

However, Pogba's entourage are adamant the saga can run to the end of next month.

The confidant told AS: "It is both possible and impossible that Pogba finishes at Real Madrid.

"We must remain calm, we are working on it. Everything could continue until the end of August, why not? Anyway, a transfer to Real Madrid does not depend on Paul."
