Why Man Utd star Paul Pogba can’t afford to reject Real Madrid or Juventus transfer
PAUL POGBA cannot afford to wait at Manchester United during the club’s rebuild and snub moves to Juventus or Real Madrid, because it will use up too much of his career.
The Spanish giants are not the only team interested, however, as Juventus are claimed to have sent representatives to London for preliminary talks over a transfer.
Pogba himself has reportedly told Manchester United chiefs that he wants to leave, and has no intention of staying at the club.
United are keen to keep the Frenchman, having paid a club-record fee of £89million for him when Jose Mourinho was in charge.
But now, with new manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer planning an overhaul of the playing squad at Old Trafford, Pogba has been warned that time is running out for him to make a move away from the club.

Speaking on the Sky Sports Transfer Talk podcast, Sheth claimed that United’s rebuild will take too long for him to sit and wait for.
“This isn’t a 19 or 20-year-old Paul Pogba where he can say that he’s got seven or eight years where he can see through the evolution of this United squad,” he explained.
“By all the pundits and experts I’ve heard from, they’ve said United’s rebuild could take a minimum of three to five years.
“You can say it’s overly cautious, but if you look at what’s happened since Sir Alex Ferguson and David Gill left the club, we’ve had six seasons where they’ve had a certain transfer strategy.

“Now they’re focusing on another way of trying to bring in players.
“It’s all very well and good saying that they can get rid of seven players and bring in another seven, but it’s almost impossible to do that in one-two or maybe three windows.
“While all this evolution is happening, Liverpool, Arsenal, City aren’t going to be standing still, are they?”
