Manchester United and Paul Pogba are finally set to part ways this coming summer, with Real Madrid and Juventus both keen on signing him on a free transfer once his contract expires this summer.

The French midfielder's time at Old Trafford hasn't gone as anybody would have hoped when he rejoined the club from Juventus in 2016, and it is now widely accepted that he will walk away at the end of the season when his current deal ends.

Pogba transfer news

Sky Sports are reporting that Real Madrid and Juventus are the current favourites to sign Pogba, saying that both clubs have had contact with the midfielder's representatives.

They have, though, also reported that Pogba hasn't yet ruled out the possibility of staying in the Premier League.

Pogba has often been linked with an Old Trafford exit since his 2016 return, and Real Madrid and Juventus have both been consistently interested in his services. In the past, though, the price tag has put Los Blancos off signing him.

In his first season back at Manchester United, Pogba won the Carabao Cup and Europa League under Jose Mourinho. United have failed to win a single trophy since, though the Frenchman has won both the World Cup and the Nations League with France.

Pogba was recently booed off the pitch after Manchester United's 3-2 win over Norwich at home. He sparked controversy by cupping his ear to the fans in response to the abuse being aimed in his direction.
