Manchester City are interested in signing Paul Pogba on a free transfer in what could become one of the most explosive deals in British transfer history.
Pogba is out of contract at the end of next month when he is virtually certain to leave Manchester United for a second time after rejoining the club for a then world record transfer fee of £89million in 2016.
And Sportsmail has learned that City are exploring the option of signing Pogba from their arch rivals ahead of next season.
Pep Guardiola wants to add a new versatile central midfielder ahead of next season to fill the void that is likely to be left by captain Fernandinho, who is out of contract at the end of the season.
