Not to mention his undoubted ability, the Frenchman is also a great attraction for transfer targets. To have one of the best midfielders in the world in your ranks, whether they have managed to maintain consistent form or not, will always make the ears of the world\u2019s top players prick up.<\/p>\n<p>French football journalist Julien Laurens reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/df69b544\/Antoine-Griezmann?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Antoine Griezmann<\/a> would consider a move to Manchester, provided he got to play with France teammate Pogba. The pair won the World Cup together in 2018, and Griezmann, who has not impressed since moving to Barcelona last summer, may be on his way out of the Camp Nou as soon as the end of this campaign. Furthermore, with much financial uncertainty having hit the world of football, and Barcelona among the big teams worst affected, they may need to offload more players to fund the return of <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/69384e5d\/Neymar?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Neymar<\/a> which they so <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/1245517\/Barcelona-news-Lionel-Messi-Neymar-PSG-Camp-Nou-possible-return-news\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">desperately want<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>And if he Leaves?<\/h3>\n<p>While Pogba\u2019s departure would be less of an attraction for some players, it would allow United to make a move for those already interested. Three names immediately come to mind.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/dbf053da\/Jadon-Sancho?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jadon Sancho<\/a> is the Red Devils\u2019 top <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/soccer\/soccer-transfers\/story\/4079887\/dortmund-demand-130m-for-man-united-target-sancho\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">transfer target<\/a> for the summer. The Englishman is currently working wonders for Borussia Dortmund in the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/bundesliga\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bundesliga<\/a> and would be an incredible addition to the already talented Manchester United side. The downfall is the price, and although United can afford the estimated \u00a3120 million he would cost, it would leave very little for any other moves.<\/p>\n<p>One of the other transfers which the Manchester club are <a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2020\/03\/31\/manchester-united-expect-beat-manchester-city-jack-grealish-transfer-12489620\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">looking to make<\/a> in the summer is <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/b0b4fd3e\/Jack-Grealish?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jack Grealish<\/a>. Although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercurynews.com\/2020\/03\/31\/coronavirus-jack-grealish-busted-car-crash\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent events<\/a>, and less need for the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/aston-villa-club-news-analysis-fixtures\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aston Villa<\/a> star, mean that they are not as likely to go all-out on signing him, Grealish would still be a good addition. He <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2020\/04\/01\/would-a-move-for-jack-grealish-make-sense-for-manchester-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">could provide<\/a> competition in the midfield, but the money for buying him would likely come from selling Pogba.<\/p>\n<p>Although this would be far less expensive than the other two, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/57d88cf9\/Jude-Bellingham?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jude Bellingham<\/a> would still <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skysports.com\/football\/news\/11096\/11914861\/jude-bellingham-to-manchester-united-birmingham-teenager-is-a-special-talent\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cost<\/a> United a hefty \u00a330 million. The 16-year-old is one of the most promising talents in the world at the moment, but United may rely on selling Pogba to fund that move.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"xoSi7L5nTyVLVEQ5Ultrmg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1171138524\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'xoSi7L5nTyVLVEQ5Ultrmg',sig:'1miAnHsG88doYS-uL0sQnA4GU7hZiaPz3GpGlh8fbCM=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1171138524',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multiple Manchester United transfers revolve around Paul Pogba and whether he stays or leaves, according to Dharmesh Seth at Sky Sports.
