Pogba’s agent – Mino Raiola – has persistently peddled the idea his client’s time in Manchester could be coming to an end.
Whether Man Utd opt to sell or allow him to run his contract down remains to be seen. Of course, the possibility remains he could pen bumper fresh terms.
However, should Pogba depart, the Sun reveal who Man Utd could target as his replacement. They state that Man Utd would weigh up a move for Bayern midfielder Leon Goretzka. The 26-year-old is in a similar position to Pogba with just 12 months remaining on his deal.
Bayern has already shown they will not bow to player pressure over new contracts given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Kingsley Coman’s future in Bavaria.
As such, losing Pogba on a free would not be the disaster it would first seem. That’s because a suitable replacement in Goretzka could fill the void without having to pay a transfer fee
