Pogba’s up for grabs

- By SIMON MULLOCK

MANCHESTER UNITED want to sell Paul Pogba in January.

United’s £89million Frenchman (below) has become such a divisive figure in the dressing room that club chiefs are ready to flog him less than three years after making him the most expensive player in the world.

Jose Mourinho has run out of patience with the midfielder, 25, and it is understood United are planning to cash in on him next month regardless of whether Mourinho continues as boss.

The feeling is it is best to part ways now – to help Mourinho turn the season around and ensure any prospectiv­e new boss does not inherit the problem.

Juventus, who brought Pogba from United for £2m when his contract expired in 2012 and then sold him back to the Red Devils four years later, have shown an interest.

Paris St-Germain are also sure to join the bidding, although Pogba has an ambition to move to Spain with either Real Madrid or Barcelona.
