Manchester splashed £89 million to bring Paul Pogba back to Old Trafford, making him the world's most expensive player back in 2016. However, his Manchester United career has been full of ups and downs, and many believe the midfielder has failed to live up to the expectation and the price-tag during his time at Old Trafford.

The player has publicly stated his desire to leave the club this summer, saying that it might be the right time for him to try a new challenge somewhere else.

Zinedine Zidane is said to be a huge admirer of the player, and Real Madrid are trying their best to bring the talismanic midfielder to the Santiago Bernabeu this summer. However, Manchester United have been adamant that the player is not for sale, and only an offer in the region of £150 million will make them change their mind.

Real Madrid have already spent close to €300 million this summer on transfers and could find it difficult to finance a deal for the midfielder. Real Madrid are willing to use Gareth Bale as a makeweight in any possible deal; however, Manchester United are not keen on bringing the Welshman to Old Trafford this season.
