Paul Pogba set to join Real Madrid on one condition

Manchester United midfielder will join Real Madrid in the summer if the Red Devils fail to qualify for UEFA Champions League. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer definitely did have a lot of immediate impact at United. However, the team has struggled greatly in the past month with several players including Pogba guilty of not turning up when the club wanted them to.

Now, it looks like United not qualifying for Europe's elite competition is more than a possibility after their 4-0 humbling at the hands of Everton this past weekend. Recently, several rumours had surfaced linking the Frenchman to Real Madrid and Zinedine Zidane had admitted that he admires Pogba.

Manchester United are also set to undergo a massive squad overhaul in the summer and Pogba could be part of the exodus if he doesn't turn up for the rest of the games this season starting with tonight's Manchester derby.
