“Adidas is pressing a lot because he is one of the two franchise players of the brand.”
Meanwhile, Real Madrid have been urged to forget Pogba by La Liga expert Graham Hunter, who believes Zidane should prevent Florentino Perez from negotiating a move.
“It’s absolutely imperative that in your rebuilding of Los Blancos, you don’t sign Paul Pogba,” Hunter told Bet365.
“The president wants him, it’s good for marketing, but he’s not the right man.
“You [Zidane] have stated that the absolute priority in 19/20 is to win the title, not the Champions League.
“Do you need a world-class centre-half? Yes, you know you do.
“And I know you want to promote your own son Luca and kick out one of the top two goalkeepers.
“I would say keep [Thibaut] Courtois, move Keylor [Navas] on. Age demands.
“If you’re going to get it right, use your eyes, listen to your heart, don’t listen to your president.”
Pogba has spent three years back at United since arriving from Juventus back in the summer of 2016.
