Man Utd star Paul Pogba set to miss out on Real Madrid transfer because of one player
Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is set to miss out on a January transfer to Real Madrid, because Zinedine Zidane’s Los Blanco don’t want to hinder the development of youngster Federico Valverde.
Manchester United star Paul Pogba’s hope for a move away from Old Trafford appears less likely to be fulfilled. Real Madrid wouldn’t want to sign the France World Cup winner because it would likely stop the progress of 21-year-old Federico Valverde.

Despite the love affair with Valverde at Real Madrid, Zidane feels differently, according to AS.
The manager has a soft spot for Pogba, and believes he would be the ideal signing for the club.
Zidane admires box-to-box midfielders, and he’s been a big Pogba fan since his days at Juventus.
The Real Madrid boss even turned down the chance to sign Christian Eriksen or Donny van de Beek in the faint hope of signing Pogba.
