Manchester United fans in the Football Transfer Tavern are left shocked after the Daily Star wrote how they were plotting a £77 million bid for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba.

This huge sum of money was initially set aside for either Gareth Bale or Cristiano Ronaldo but now the Real Madrid duo have rejected a move and United have their next big money target in sight.

Louis van Gaal is beginning to bring consistency back to Old Trafford and it seems as though the board are going to continue to back him following his £150 million spending spree in the summer.

Now reports suggest the former Dutch boss is targeting one of the most exciting youngsters in football.

That said, punters know it wont be easy to sign the 21-year-old after it is believed he trebled his wages when he extended his contract until 2019 at Juventus.

Despite Juventus’ willingness to want to cling onto Pogba, they may not be able to refuse such a lucrative bid.

The French international left Old Trafford in 2012 after refusing to sign a new deal. Back then, Pogba felt he was not given enough first team football or enough money.
