Chelsea reportedly declare their interest in Manchester United youngster Paul Pogba.

Chelsea have reportedly alerted Manchester United to their interest in young Red Devil Paul Pogba.

The future of the United midfielder has been in doubt, with reports linking the Frenchman with a move to Italy.

Despite Sir Alex Ferguson's confidence that the 18-year-old will sign a new contract at Old Trafford, Chelsea are understood to be prepared to scupper the deal, according to The Mirror.

It is believed that the teenager's representatives are looking for a bid in the region of £3m, and while United are willing to up the playmaker's wages, they are reportedly concerned over the excessive demands.
