Manchester United v Cardiff City - Premier League

More news on the Paul Pogba story. We had recently mentioned that both Real Madrid and Juventus are very interested in acquiring the services of the Frenchman, however, United have so far held firm on their desire to keep hold of their star player. But if recent reports are to be believed, United have finally accepted that they might lose Pogba this summer.

According to the Evening Standard, the Red Devils are preparing a list of replacements for Paul Pogba, should the Frenchman leave before the start of next season. The number one target in that list is Tottenham playmaker Christian Eriksen. The Dane has himself admitted in recent times that he is open to a new challenge, so a move could suit all parties.

Should Tottenham be reluctant to sell, United will turn their attention to Youri Tielemans, who caught Solskjaer's eyes with his impressive displays for Leicester City while on loan from Monaco. However, United's preferred choice would be to keep hold of Pogba, who Solskjaer still sees as the heart of his team.
