Manchester United have 'accepted' Paul Pogba will not agree to a new contract and have prepared themselves to lose him on a free transfer at the end of the season, according to reports.
Pogba, 28, has so far failed to agree to fresh terms to extend his second stint at Manchester United.
The French midfielder will be eligible to discuss pre-contract terms with clubs outside of England as early as January and ESPN report that United bosses have accepted Pogba is set to depart.
Manchester United re-signed Pogba for £89million back in 2016 but he has proven a divisive figure among pundits and supporters ever since and has recently found himself out of the starting line-up.
