Paris Saint Germain have one of the best squads on the planet and they are looking to strengthen it even more next season. They have targeted Manchester United star Paul Pogba for next summer as they try and build one of the greatest squads of all time.
Pogba is Manchester United’s most expensive signing and the Reds broke the world record for the highest transfer fee ever paid for a player when they signed him. The record stood for a long time until PSG broke it by signing Neymar Jr for a whopping 222 million euros.

However, Pogba’s move hasn’t gone that well as the mercurial midfielder has been accused of underperforming at the club. He is currently injured and is planning to plot a return to the pitch in February. This season, he has seven assists in the league after playing nine games. It’ll be interesting to see if he can add to this tally perform for the club again.

Paul Pogba and his complete U-turn regarding United
Recent reports have indicated that the Frenchman is willing to stay at Manchester United, as long as German manager Ralf Rangnick stays in charge. Rangnick was appointed on an interim basis with a clause that said that he would continue as a consultant for a further two years with the club.
However, if he does accomplish something substantial with United this season, there’s a possibility that he can be made the permanent manager as well. Moreover, Pogba has been impressed by Rangnick and his management style and will be willing to sign a new deal with Manchester United if the German stays as the manager.
Manchester United and their prospects in the Premier League
The Reds are sitting in 4th place in the Premier League table after a horrible start to the season that saw them sitting as low as 8th place. They sacked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and appointed Ralf Rangnick to help turn the tide around.
