Manchester United willing to sell Paul Pogba on one condition

Paul Pogba produced a decent performance against Chelsea

Ever since Paul Pogba openly flirted with Real Madrid and started downing his tools once again for Manchester United, speculation has been rife that his heart is set on a move to the Santiago Bernabeu. Despite Ole Gunnar Soslkjaer telling the press on multiple occasions that his midfielder isn't for sale, he continues to be linked with a move away from United.

However, the latest reports suggest that the Red Devils are willing to let go of Paul Pogba if they get an offer in the range of £130 million. Manchester United had signed Paul Pogba from Juventus for £89 million and want a profit of more than £40 million if they are to sell him.

Several reports had surfaced claiming that Pogba will continue at Manchester United only if they qualify for the Champions League and that looks like a distant possibility now.
