Manchester United are ready to sell Paul Pogba this summer as the Frenchman does not want to sign a new contract, according to reports.

Pogba continues to be linked with a move away to Old Trafford, and both he and his agent Mino Raiola have spoken publicly of his desire to seek pastures new.

And according to the Sunday Mirror, United have now accepted Pogba’s wish to leave and will not stand in his way this summer.

The Red Devils paid £89m to bring Pogba back to the club from Juventus in 2016, and they are keen to recoup at least some of that money.

Pogba has been in excellent form and was arguably United’s standout performer in Friday’s 2-1 victory over Aston Villa.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been pleased with the player’s attitude and application since Raiola’s controversial comments last month.

Bruno Fernandes is now widely seen as United’s star man, while Donny van de Beek could step into Pogba’s shoes should he depart.

United are hopeful that a bidding war would push up the fee and allow them to recover as much of the £89m as possible.

Solskjaer’s side are level on points with Premier League leaders Liverpool ahead of the champions’ trip to Southampton on Monday.
