However, Pogba ended up choosing Manchester United, re-joining his boyhood club, and with one of the most decorated managers in the world at the helm; Jose Mourinho.<\/p>\n<p>Although it seemed that Pogba, having arrived for a then world-record fee of \u00a389 million, would have an incredible impact on the United squad, that was not the case.<\/p>\n<p>The Frenchman has struggled to establish a run of good form since his return to England.<\/p>\n<p>His relationship with Mourinho, who was sacked at the end of 2018, was not a healthy one, and that could only hurt his progress.<\/p>\n<p>Pogba\u2019s attitude did not seem to be top quality either, and the output on the pitch was no better.<\/p>\n<p>Although last season, the 27-year-old started to show why the Red Devils paid so much for him, seemingly preferring <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/65cb97b8\/Ole-Gunnar-Solskjaer?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ole Gunnar Solskjaer<\/a> in charge, this season he has not been able to build on that, with an ankle injury reducing him to just eight appearances this campaign.<\/p>\n<h3>James Rodriguez Linked With Manchester United Again<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/933304\/James-Rodriguez-Bayern-Munich-Manchester-United-Real-Madrid-transfer-news-talks\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rumours of Rodriguez joining United<\/a> are nothing new.<\/p>\n<p>The Columbian, who joined Real Madrid after an excellent 2014 World Cup, has never reached his world-class potential and has been linked with United for a number of years. Now, they seem to be seriously considering the offer, and Pogba could get his long-awaited move to the Spanish capital.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"dRchsSF6SLRbj5NLWWeoSw\" 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\/1192714914\" 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:'dRchsSF6SLRbj5NLWWeoSw',sig:'V-v06uMlB3GOGqW9SbWQP-gUx0Z0kRxQ7GfhL-8emZU=',w:'396px',h:'594px',items:'1192714914',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>Manchester United are considering accepting Real Madrid\u2019s latest Paul Pogba offer, which includes James Rodriguez, according to Tom\u00e1s Roncero of AS.
