Manchester United dealt brand new Paul Pogba blow
By Bence Bocsak
Manchester United have been dealt a major new blow in their Paul Pogba saga and it might be bad news for both the player and the club.
Manchester United are in a bit of a predicament. Their best player, Paul Pogba has become a wantaway. The Frenchman’s heart strings are being pulled elsewhere.
It is a dilemma which haunts football clubs every season. In the modern age of football the temptation is great and the resistance and self-control is rare to find.
With the seducing voices of agents, luring their players to find more lucrative deals it has made football a cynical business.

The temptation becomes even greater when the voice in your ear is the loudest of them all in Mino Raiola. The super agent is infamous for his tough negotiation approach and he has often been the thorn in Manchester United’s side in the past.
Of course, objectively speaking one can hardly blame Paul Pogba for wanting to leave. He has not had the warmest of receptions in England and being at the prime years of his career he will want to fight for trophies and play in elite competitions.
Manchester United having just entered their metamorphosis may not be able to give him what he desires in the short term.
And so it has led Paul Pogba to be pursued by Spanish giants Real Madrid. However as the Frenchman has found himself on the sidelines due to injury and Federico Valverde has establish himself as an exciting prospect at Real Madrid it seems Real Madrid’s interest may have faded in Pogba.
According to the Daily Mail via the Daily Express, Real Madrid ‘will prioritise’ moves for Kylian Mbappe or Neymar in the summer window over a potential move for Paul Pogba.
If the report about Real Madrid is true it will be a blow to both Manchester United and Paul Pogba.
If Real Madrid do not pursue Pogba, it may mean that come the end of the summer both parties will end up having not separated despite desperately wanting to do so.
It would not be an ideal situation.
