Man Utd: ‘Pogba is more likely to go than stay’ claims pundit
Manchester United have been backed to be offered PSG pair Angel Di Maria and Julian Draxler as part of a stunning swap deal involving Paul Pogba. Pogba still wants to leave the club, just four years after a stunning return to Old Trafford. And PSG, it seems, have emerged as potential suitors for the France international.
According to Calciomercato, United will be offered Di Maria and Draxler in return for Pogba this summer.
It’s a stunning claim - particularly given how Di Maria toiled during a spell with the Red Devils earlier in his career.
The Argentina international has been critical of United in the years since his departure but that hasn’t stopped the rumour mill from backing him for a return.
Draxler’s stock has fallen at PSG over the years, with the Germany international a mere squad player under Thomas Tuchel.
But he’s another who could join United as part of a deal that would see Pogba move to the Parc des Princes.
So how would they fit in? Express Sport now takes a look at how Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s line up could change with the duo in their ranks - and no Pogba to call upon.

Should United lose Pogba and gain both Di Maria and Draxler, Solskjaer could change Bruno Fernandes’ position.
The Portugal international has impressed at No 10 ever since his January arrival from Sporting Lisbon.
But he’s also capable of playing in the heart of midfield - and could move there.
Should that happen, United would likely play Scott McTominay alongside him.
The Scotland international has improved considerably under Solskjaer and would be able to focus on his defensive duties, with Fernandes more attack-minded.
