Manchester United v Chelsea FC - Premier League

Paul Pogba reportedly still has his heart set on joining Real Madrid despite knowing that a move will be extremely difficult to pull off. The report claims that Pogba wants to join Real Madrid but he is aware that it will be nothing short of a miracle if he ends up joining Los Blancos before the transfer window shuts.

Manchester United are aware of Pogba's wishes and expect him to join Real Madrid sooner or later. The Frenchman, meanwhile, is hoping that Manchester United will lower their asking price so that he can secure his dream move to Real Madrid.

The report adds that Pogba's agent Mino Raiola is setting up a meeting with Real Madrid's representatives in the next few days to let them know that his client is still very much interested in securing a move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
