Although Paul Pogba was United’s highest goal scorer and the top assist provider last season, it wasn’t an extraordinary campaign for the World Cup winner.
Pogba faced a lot of criticism for his inconsistent performances from the club supporters and football pundits last season. Moreover, Zinedine Zidane, who was hired as the manager of Real Madrid for the second time in his managerial career, has been an avid admirer of his compatriot Paul Pogba.

As Real Madrid have already spent over £250million in this summer transfer window, they have to be conscious about Financial Fair Play policies.

What is next?
It is expected that Manchester United wouldn’t consider any offer of less than £150million. So, as per the current news, Juventus have become the favourites to land the superstar. It is too early to rule out a potential move to Real Madrid, though.
