Manchester United are a confirmed admirer of a young French superstar who could hold the key to re-signing Paul Pogba, per a trusted transfer source.
Pogba, 28, is in the final year of his contract at Old Trafford. His blistering start to the season that saw seven assists notched in four matches showed exactly what the dynamic midfielder is capable of.
However, links to the likes of Juventus. PSG and Real Madrid have not subsided. Indeed, until Pogba signs a new contract, the vultures will continue to circle with Pogba able to sign a pre-contract agreement with overseas clubs come January 1.
One factor that could aid the club’s chances of retaining Pogba could come from signing fellow countryman, Aurelien Tchouameni.
The 21-year-old combative midfielder is already a regular for his national side, coincidentally often playing alongside Pogba.
France recently lifted the UEFA Nations League with that partnership at the heart of their midfield. And if Pogba’s recent comments are anything to go by, he wouldn’t mind playing alongside Tchouameni more often.

“Very, very good,” Pogba told RTL of his junior teammate (via the Express). “He’s not a boy, he’s a man.
“It’s a pleasure to play next to him. He brings a lot of energy. A lot of energy, extraordinary technical and physical quality.

“We wish him to play a lot more games and that I am always by his side.”
Central midfield remains the area many believe is holding Man Utd back from achieving their true ambitions. But per transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, United have installed the Chelsea-linked ace on their transfer shortlist after initially dismissing the notion they were interested over the summer.
“We had rumours about Real Madrid,” Romano said on his Here We Go podcast.”

“Manchester United were not trying to sign Tchouameni last summer. So they were not negotiating with Monaco for Tchouameni.

“There were many rumours, but he was on the list of Man United. He’s a player they are scouting with many, many players but they were not negotiating for him.

“Chelsea and Juventus have this player in their list. For example, I told you about nothing with Van de Beek at the moment, they are looking for a different player like Tchouameni.

“Chelsea have this player in their list so keep an eye on Chelsea and Juventus and we’ll see what Real Madrid will do in this position.”
