JOSE MAY DIVE IN FOR DUNK
PAUL POGBA has been spotted with Lionel Messi in Dubai amid speculation over his Manchester United future.
The Frenchman was not involved in his country’s
UEFA Nations League defeat to Netherlands on Friday night due to injury.
Pogba has been linked with Barcelona in recent months after his relationship with Jose Mourinho soured when he was stripped of the United vicecaptaincy.
Barca are interested in the midfielder, although they would not be willing to go above £100million for him – with United looking for around double that.
Pogba and Messi were seen in deep conversation at Salt Bae’s Turkish steak house.
The Frenchman could return from injury for United against Crystal Palace after the international break. MANCHESTER UNITED have been keeping tabs on the progress that England new boy Lewis Dunk has made this season.
United boss Jose Mourinho is eager to strengthen his central defence when the transfer window opens in January.
Brighton ace Dunk (right) made his England debut against the USA at Wembley on Thursday evening further enhancing his reputation.
Dunk, who celebrates his 27th birthday this week, only signed a new contract with the Seagulls until 2023 last month — but United are continuing to track his progress.
