Pogba meets with Zidane in Dubai, Pochettino not interested in January signings

Manchester United's Paul Pogba met up with Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane in Dubai during the international break, according to an exclusive story from the Express. 

The 26-year-old was in the Middle East for warm weather rehabilitation following an ankle injury and bumped into Los Blancos boss which led to a 10-minute conversation between the pair. Pogba was linked with a move to Madrid throughout the summer, but it failed to materialise as United were holding out for a fee of around £150 million. The Express understand that the Spanish giants "remain keen" on signing Pogba.

****: Paul Pogba to Real Madrid - the transfer story that will never end (until it eventually happens). The story doesn't state that the pair planned to meet in Dubai, but simply ran into each other while in the same setting. Obviously it will always fuel the transfer rumours, but realistically it was probably just a friendly conversation between two French football superstars. Pogba needs to concentrate on getting back to full fitness and returning to top form for his struggling Manchester United side before he starts thinking about any transfer to sunny Spain. 

Poch not interested in January signings 

Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has admitted that he isn't interested in signing any new players in the January transfer market, according to the Mirror. The Spurs manager has stated that he was "never keen on January" transfers and it is now "down to the current squad to find solutions”, instead of bringing in external help when the transfer window re-opens in the new year. The north London club have been out of sorts so far this season and currently sit in ninth place in the Premier League table after eight matches.
