Speaking on a promotional tour in Tokyo, the Manchester United star said:
“For me I have been for three years in Manchester and have been doing great; some good moments and some bad moments, like everybody. Like everywhere else. After this season and everything that happened this season, with my season being my best season as well. I think for me it could be a good time to have a new challenge somewhere else. I am thinking of this: to have a new challenge somewhere else.”
Real Madrid’s Summer Signing Spree
The Sun have reported that Spanish Giants, Real Madrid are also keen to bring in the French Superstar to Bernabeu. However, they have already spent £268.6m on Eder Militao, Rodrygo Goes, Luka Jovic, Fernald Mendy and Eden Hazard. They can not afford to spend United’s valuation of £150 million on Pogba. At least not when they’re still linked with Kylian Mbappe.

With Juventus also keen to sign Pogba; Real Madrid are reportedly considering offering a player-plus-cash deal to entice United and avoid a bidding war with the Italian champions. Real are reportedly willing to let go of either Gareth Bale or Isco. Both of these players have previously been linked with United in the past.
Conclusion
With Juan Mata’s future uncertain with the club and Herrera leaving the club as well, United would do well with Isco in the midfield. Bale would also add to the attack and bring trophy winning experience to the side. The ball is now in United’s hands. It will be interesting to see if they let Pogba go and if they do, how much will they manage to get out of their record signing.
