Pogba to Juventus?
Paul Pogba is keen to leave Manchester United and rejoin Juventus in January.
Italian outlet Tuttosport claim Pogba’s fractured relationship with Jose Mourinho is the reason behind his desire to quit.
Should Pogba head back to Juve, he would link up with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo quit Real Madrid in the summer in favour of a move to Serie A.

“Requested by many European clubs, Moussa Dembele signed a five-year contract with OL, that is until June 30, 2023.
“Aged 22, Moussa Dembele was trained at PSG alongside Adrien Rabiot and Kingsley Coman.
“He began his professional career at age 17 with Fulham before joining Celtic in 2016.”
Rodgers admits Dembele disappointment
Brendan Rodgers has revealed his disappointment at Moussa Dembele’s social media antics before his Celtic exit.
The France under-21 striker sealed a £20m switch from the Glasgow giants to Lyon in his homeland yesterday.
But that followed Dembele taking to Twitter to seemingly hit out at Rodgers via a series of tweets and likes.
In response, Rodgers said: “Sometimes people will react in certain ways to suit a narrative, I get that. Of course, I’m disappointed by the lengths they would go to to do that.
“It’s understandable as a tactic and I’ve seen it before. It’s unfortunate that it has come to this. I have close relations with all the players.
“At this stage, when people are trying to force through a move and trying to work it, there is a lot of anger there.
“Sometimes people say things and write things that they maybe didn’t necessarily mean.
“Of course, if you’re trying to engineer something, you can sometimes drop to that level in order to do it.”
Failed Villa bid
Aberdeen last night turned down a £7million-plus bid from Aston Villa for Scott McKenna.
The offer would have shattered the Dons’ previous record sale of £1.75m when Eoin Jess moved to Coventry back in 1996.
Villa wanted to take the 21-year-old defender on loan with a view to signing him on a permanent basis in January.
That’s with the Premier League’s summer transfer window having closed on August 9 – before the start of the current campaign.
Villa’s last-gasp offer eclipsed the £3.5m bid tabled by Aberdeen’s rivals Celtic for the Scotland star 10 days ago.
