Man Utd getting Pogba out of club 'is a priority' says expert
Paul Pogba has "all of the conditions" to complete a transfer to Real Madrid and a deal would suit Manchester United for two main reasons, according to Willy Sagnol. Pogba's future at Old Trafford has long been debated with Real holding a strong interest in bringing the midfielder to La Liga.
There has been a strained relationship for many years now between Pogba's agent, Mino Raiola, and the club.
Raiola has often taken shots at United in the media while also suggesting on many occasions that he will be looking to help Pogba force a transfer away from Old Trafford.
Pogba has stayed quiet on the matter, although last summer he did admit that he was ready to quit United for a "new challenge".
No deal materialised despite strong interest from both Real and Barcelona, but reports have suggested there could be another approach in the summer transfer window.

And Sagnol, who won five Bundesliga titles at Bayern Munich, believes United will also want to see Pogba leave as it will give them money to spend on new signings.
“All of the conditions are there for Pogba to go to Real Madrid," he told RMC Sport.
"Florentino [Perez] wants it, Zidane wants it, Pogba as well.
“I think Manchester United would be happy because they wouldn’t have to pay his high salary anymore, and they would have money to invest in new players. Everything is prepared for it to happen.
“I just hope we see the Pogba of France and not the Pogba of Manchester United.”
Speaking earlier this month, Pogba admitted to being frustrated over his injury issues over the past year.
But he is already looking forward to returning for United, hinting that he is expecting to stay at Old Trafford.
“I've been frustrated, a long time ago," he told the Red Devils' official podcast.
