The 26-year-old player is a crucial asset to the club and probably the best player in midfield for the Red Devils, and considering Pogba has two years left in his contract, Manchester United can opt to keep him at the club for another season.
Additionally, exit of Juan Mata and Ander Herrera have left a huge void in midfield and Manchester United are not willing to degrade their squad further.
Considering, unavailability of suitable replacements for the French International does also make Manchester United possessive of Pogba.
On the other hand, Real Madrid are massively interested in hiring the services of the World Cup winning player. Zinedine Zidane has in fact listed his compatriot as his priority target this summer.
It is further reported that Los Blancos are ready to splash their banks to land him in the Spanish Capital ahead of next season, as Real Madrid are still willing to further complete their squad overhaul.
