Pogba could leave Manchester United as United plan to replace him with Grealish and Maddison

Manchester United will sell Paul Pogba and buy James Maddison and Jack Grealish, while Manchester City's Champions League ban fallout continues. 

United line up Pogba replacements 
Manchester United are ready to sell Paul Pogba, and they have two players lined up as a replacement. The Mirror writes that United will accept bids of £130 million for the 26-year-old midfielder, with Real Madrid and Juventus leading the chase. In his place could arrive Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish, and Leicester City playmaker James Maddison. 

Man City players could walk away, Real Madrid target Sterling 

The Sun newspaper reports that Manchester City’s players could walk away from the club and their contracts as the ‘trust and confidence’ of their deal has been broken, according to a sport lawyer. John Mehrzad is quoted as saying: “City players could contend that their player contracts have been fundamentally undermined - and resign in response, effectively becoming free agents." The Sun also reports that Raheem Sterling is wanted by Real Madrid for £180 million. 

Raiola: Pogba could leave 
In perhaps unsurprising news, Manchester United’s Paul Pogba would consider leaving the club, according to his agent Mino Raiola. The Daily Mail carries quotes from the French World Cup winner’s representative, saying: “He never lost his smile, but clearly a great player doesn't go to Manchester United only to not challenge for the Champions League or the Premier League title. It would be bull for me not to admit Paul wants to stay at the highest level. 'But Pogba will first and foremost try to give his best and then we'll see at the end of the season if he ought to remain or not.” 

Clubs concern over Manchester City chaos 

Rival Premier League clubs are concerned that they will be drawn into the chaos caused by Manchester City’s Champions League ban. The Telegraph believes that clubs are worried about the late notice of any potential final decision, with one executive saying: "it leaves us in a grey area - it's of little comfort for us that we could become collateral damage in this."
