Paul Pogba could certainly be forgiven for not wanting to return from his holidays early right now.

The French midfielder was instrumental in helping Les Bleus lift the World Cup, scoring in the final and turning in a number of top displays out in Russia.

His reputation in world football has grown for the first time since his move back to Manchester United, so he may want to avoid Jose Mourinho's glare for as long as possible.

It probably doesn't help that the Red Devils are in tumultuous state right now.

Mourinho and Ed Woodward are engaged in a war of words over United's lack of transfer activity, with the boss now the bookies' favourite to be the first Premier League manager sacked in 2018/19.

Having brought in Fred, Diogo Dalot and Lee Grant for around £70m, Mourinho has been told that he needs to sell before dipping back into the market.

Anthony Martial is someone who could bring in a seriously high fee and United may soon receive a huge offer for none other than Pogba himself.

The Mirror report that his former club Juventus - where he forged his reputation - are keen on re-signing him just two years after letting him go.

After splashing a cool £105m on Cristiano Ronaldo, the Bianconeri believe the Frenchman is the last missing piece of the puzzle.

And they're prepared to make some serious sacrifices to get him.

The Turin giants are looking to raise around £200m to get the deal done and will look to offload four of their players to do so.

Miralem Pjanic, Gonzalo Higuain, Daniele Rugani and Mattia Calcara are the quartet in question.

It seems quite incredible that Juve would look to offload one of the world's finest midfielders and two of the best centre-back prospects in Europe just to get Pogba back.

They should have no trouble in selling any of them, with Chelsea and AC Milan already sniffing around Higuain, Rugani and Caldara.

As for Pjanic, he really could play in any team in world football. Mourinho would be wise to ask for the Bosnian in any possible deal for Pogba.
