Ed Woodward ‘reluctant’ to sanction transfer for Pogba in spite of Mourinho

According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho plans to sell midfielder Paul Pogba at the end of the season. Chief executive Ed Woodward is reportedly ‘reluctant’ to let him go just yet, however.

The French international has struggled for consistency ever since making the return from Juventus and could be the first casualty of the summer as a result.

Pogba joined United for a club-record £89m in 2016 and has gone on to make 88 appearances in all competitions, scoring and creating 30 goals.

He won the League Cup and Europa League in his first season under Mourinho and could yet win the FA Cup this campaign.
