MAN UTD, REAL MADRID IN TALKS OVER HUGE THREE-WAY PLAYER TRADE

Manchester United are ready to relent to Paul Pogba’s wishes and let him join Real Madrid – but they have informed the LaLiga giants they want two of their players as part of any deal for the France star.
According to Spanish daily AS, Pogba has officially informed United he wants to leave the club this summer – with either a return to Juventus or a move to Spain with Real Madrid his two preferred options.
United have always insisted the player would not be allowed to move on, but it’s now suggested Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has sanctioned the potential sale after refusing to hold on to a player who now longer wishes to be at the club.
As such, Don Balon claims United have contacted Real to signal their intent to

thrash out the terms of his transfer to the Bernabeu – with a three-man player trade at the centre of Solskjaer’s thinking.
According to the Spanish outlet, United have told Real they want Toni Kroos as part of any deal for the Frenchman.
Stylish Germany midfielder Kroos, although a different type of player, would fill the hole left by Pogba in United’s midfield, with Solskjaer thinking the player’s ball-retention and range of passing in the middle of the park would arguably suit his style better.
Furthermore, it’s claimed United will also ask Real to throw Gareth Bale into the equation too. The club were said to be against spending such vast sums on the 29-year-old Welshman, but an exchange deal would twist their arm, while at the same time providing their attack with greater verve than the ineffective Alexis Sanchez.
