And according to Italian outlet Gazetta dello Sport, United are readying an £85.3m (€100m) bid for the Serie A star.
They claim that’s the Red Devils’ budget to sign Pogba, which would be a British record fee.It would only be behind Gareth Bale’s move from Tottenham to Madrid in which the Spanish giants paid £86m to sign the Welsh international.
