Manchester United signed Paul Pogba from Juventus for £89.3 million to turn them into Premier League contenders in 2016, but five years on, offloading the France midfielder now holds the key to their title prospects.
Raising £50m or more by allowing Pogba to leave the club before his contract expires in June 2022 could be the difference between United making one or two priority signings -- Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane -- or having the resources to move for other targets including Kieran Trippier, Eduardo Camavinga and Jules Kounde.
