Rumors have begun to emerge that out-of-form midfielder, Paul Pogba, is unhappy at Manchester United and could be open to leaving soon. Could Real Madrid be a possible landing spot for the talented Frenchmen? Don’t get your hopes up.
To say that I am not surprised with this news is an understatement. I actually should have seen it coming. Jose Mourinho and one of his best players are in the midst of a standoff.
In typical Mou form, the manager did not hold back his feelings after United’s loss to Newcastle United where both Pogba and fellow midfielder Nemanja Matic were caught out of position for the lone goal.
“It’s really far from the goal, the players know the positions they have to be in but we miss the challenge in the air,” he said in his press conference. “I remember clearly the Newcastle player jumping and two of my players looking at him and staying on the floor so the guy won the ball in the air. I won’t analyze players individually… You know who lost the challenge in the air.”
I just think it’s hilarious this guy is a manager and has been for some time now. He is a walking soap opera with no filter and a horrible attitude.
With his recent poor form and criticism from his manager, many have begun to float the idea of Pogba leaving England for a bigger club than United. That club is Real Madrid.
I am here to tell you all that there is no true evidence to back up these claims and it is highly unlikely this move actually happens.
Paul believes that Mou is playing him out of position and asking too much of him in the role he is playing, resulting in further unrest. While Real Madrid was keen on signing the midfielder from Juventus over the summer in 2016, it doesn’t seem that he is a target for this coming summer.

Could something crazy happen to result in Real Madrid signing Paul Pogba? Maybe. You truly never know with President Florentino Perez and his attitude.
However, I firmly sit on the side of believing this move won’t happen. I think it is more like Jose leave United than Pogba.
