Paul Pogba 'favours' moving back to Juventus ahead of a possible transfer to Real Madrid.

The Manchester United midfielder is Zinedine Zidane's top remaining target but Real Madrid are unwilling to stump up the £150million required.

According to Spanish publication AS, Pogba would rather play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and prefers a switch back to his old club.

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba favours a move to Juventus over Real Madrid

Zidane has already seen £344m worth of new players come through the door this summer.

Real president Florentino Perez is reluctant to spend the £150m that United would want for Pogba, meaning Juventus and PSG could outgun the Spanish side.

The 26-year-old World Cup winner made his name with Juventus and would reportedly like to return to his old stomping ground having already held talks with new manager Maurizio Sarri.
