Manchester United 'still value Paul Pogba at £150m'

Manchester United still reportedly value unsettled midfielder Paul Pogba at £150m despite the financial impact of the coronavirus outbreak.

The France international was strongly linked with a move away from Old Trafford last summer, but it is understood that no clubs were prepared to meet United's valuation, which was thought to be in the region of £180m.

Juventus and Real Madrid are both still believed to be monitoring developments in a player who has now returned to full fitness following ankle surgery ahead of the Premier League restart later this month.

However, according to the Evening Standard, interested parties will not be able to sign the 2018 World Cup winner in a cut-price deal as the Red Devils still value him at £150m.

The 27-year-old's current deal with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side is due to expire next summer, although the 20-time English champions have the option of activating a further 12 months to keep him until June 2022.

Pogba is yet to score in eight appearances at club level this term but enjoyed a productive 2018-19 season, registering 16 goals and contributing 11 assists in 47 appearances in all competitions.
