Meanwhile, talk has ramped up over United’s bid to bring Pogba’s potential replacement to Old Trafford.
According to Football Insider, United have sent scouts to observe Monaco star Aurelien Tchouameni during the French club’s game against PSV on Thursday.
The 21-year-old has developed into a fine midfielder under the tutelage of Niko Kovac. Indeed, Pogba has even spoken about the youngster being the future of the France national team for years to come.
Tchouameni has also kept up his impressive form this term. He has scored twice in 18 appearances in all competitions for Monaco.
Several clubs are known to be in the running for his signature, with a fee of £40milliom mooted.
But the fact that United have extensively scouted him for some time, means a bid is almost certainly expected if they get the nod to do so.
