Real Madrid to rival Manchester United in race for Paul PogbaJuly 28, 2016 - 16:06 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - With Gonzalo Higuain's move to Juventus complete, it seems like the pieces are in place for Paul Pogba to finally clinch a world-record move to Manchester United this summer, ESPN FC reports. Quite why you would want to leave the Old Lady after their sensational summer is anybody's guess, though his agent Mino Raiola appears determined to steer the France international out of Turin. The Sun therefore report the deal is done, although we have been here before. The paper says that a £112 million fee has been signed off, if their top Juventus source is to be believed. The Star reports, however, that Real Madrid are about to hijack Manchester United's deal. Whether Real Madrid will happily go higher than the £112 million remains unclear. But the prospect of teaming up with the legendary Zinedine Zidane could prove enticing for Pogba, even at this late stage.
