MANCHESTER UNITED midfielder Paul Pogba is reportedly still desperate to leave the club – and his priority remains to join Real Madrid.
SunSport recently revealed how the Red Devils are keen to offload the 2018 World Cup winner for £100million with the player soon to have just one year left on his contract.

The 27-year-old has been plagued by injuries this season, with the ex-Juventus ace limited to just seven Premier League appearances.
And with his Old Trafford career seemingly over, a move abroad seems certain as Pogba continues to seek an exit away.
According to 90min, Pogba is hell-bent on securing a dream move to the Bernabeu as he looks to play under Zinedine Zidane.
They claim Los Blancos remain keen on signing the player despite his torrid time with injuries of late.
And they state he desires to work with Zidane – a player Pogba has called his idol in the past.
A Red Devils source said in 2018: “Paul grew up with Zidane as his hero and would like to play for him at some stage in his career.
“He could have back at Real, but he felt he had unfinished business at United and their interest only came along very late in the day.
“Paul has a similar all action style to Zidane and a lot of what he days was off the back of watching him and learning from him.”
Former club Juve as well as Bayern Munich are also said to be interested in him, but Pogba’s priority is to join Real.
There have been reports that Pogba could be used in a swap deal with the Old Lady for Aaron Ramsey.
If Pogba was to leave for Real, there have been claims that United will look to sign Atletio Madrid ace Saul Niguez as his replacement.
