Zidane 'furious with Madrid over failed Pogba move'

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is furious with his club for failing to sign Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, according to a report.

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is reportedly furious with his club for failing to secure a move for Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba during this summer's transfer window.

Los Blancos have been strongly linked with a swoop for the France international over the last few months, although United are believed to value the 2018 World Cup winner in the region of £180m.

Pogba's agent has reportedly pleaded with the Red Devils to sell the midfielder ahead of Monday's European deadline, but it is unlikely that the English club would sanction a move at this stage.

According to Sport, Zidane feels 'let down' and 'lied to' by Madrid president Florentino Perez as the head coach does not believe that his club made a serious attempt to sign the Frenchman this summer.

Pogba has been an ever-present for United in the early stages of the 2019-20 campaign, not missing a minute of their three Premier League fixtures.

However, the former Le Havre youngster is believed to have made it clear that he will not be signing a new contract at Old Trafford.
