Paul Pogba
Mino Raiola, the agent of Paul Pogba, has flown to England to hold talks with Manchester United as interest grows in the French midfielder.
Both Barcelona and his previous club, Juventus, hold an interest in signing the World Cup winner as his relationship with boss Jose Mourinho has left the door ajar for a move away.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Raiola has opted to be in England for talks with United with the transfer window for the Premier League closing on Thursday.
Barcelona are keen to add yet another marquee signing to their midfield in a bid to see Pogba link up with Philippe Coutinho and Lionel Messi further forward.
For Juventus, the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo for £100million makes a move unlikely but the Italians are said to be keen in reuniting with the Frenchman if the opportunity presents itself.
Mourinho and Pogba clashed a handful of times last season over what his manager felt were inconsistent performances and the early signs in pre-season is that the Portuguese looks harsher and sharper than ever.
Pogba has been enjoying his post-World Cup holiday while his beleaguered team-mates have endured a gruelling pre-season which has left Mourinho in meltdown ahead of the new campaign.
A 1-0 friendly defeat by Bayern Munich on Sunday capped off a miserable pre-season with the squad decimated due to so many stars involvement at the World Cup.
United open the 2018-19 Premier League season on Friday night at home to Leicester City but it remains unlikely that Pogba, who has played no part in the preparations to date, will feature.
