Paul Pogba’s hopes of leaving Manchester United have taken a blow

Manchester United have threatened to raise their asking price for Paul Pogba to £180m, report the Daily Mail.

The France international is desperate to leave Old Trafford this summer after growing disillusioned with life at the club.

Having grown tired of Mino Raiola's behaviour - the Italian superagent has been publicly vocal about Pogba's desire to move on - the Red Devils have told the duo that they will hold out for £180m unless they stop agitating for a transfer.

It was previously thought that £150m would be enough to prise Pogba away from United.

But Ed Woodward has wrestled back control of the situation by increasing the price, a move which has reportedly seen Juve end their interest in the World Cup winner.
