That’s according to Goal who claim the Spanish giants have pulled the plug on their hopes of the France superstar moving to the Bernabeu.

And Juventus believe the sale to United will be completed by the end of this week.

Jose Mourinho’s side are said to have always been in pole position to sign the 23-year-old despite interest from Real.

Pogba left United in 2012 after growing frustrated by a lack of first-team opportunities but is now set to make a return to Old Trafford.

Since leaving the club the midfielder has gone on to establish himself as one of the most highly-rated stars in Europe.

And United are set to reward him with mammoth wages worth a reported £10m-a-year.

Real boss Zinedine Zidane is a big fan of his countryman but has accepted the club cannot compete with the offer the Red Devils have tabled for Pogba.

Mourinho has been busy since replacing Louis van Gaal, making three new signings.

Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan have all joined the club as United look to win the Premier League title for the first time since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement.

The Red Devils start the new campaign with an away trip to Bournemouth on Sunday, August 14.
