Real Madrid are set to give up in their pursuit of Paul Pogba.
‘United close Pogba’s door’ is a headline that in today’s edition of AS.
Within the report, it’s mentioned Manchester United leaders have already informed the midfielder he will not be allowed to join Los Blancos, even if they receive a €200m bid.
Before the Premier League window closed, the France international held a small hope that he could leave Old Trafford, but that was crushed after his side failed to bring in a new midfielder.
After the 2018/19 season, Manchester United lost Marouane Fellaini and Ander Herrera, and they haven’t replaced them in the recently concluded window.
A section of United fans have expressed their unhappiness towards the club’s owners and the board.
AS claim fans’ relationship with the Red Devils board didn’t help Real Madrid in signing the 26-year-old. United vice chairman Ed Woodward was aware his position at the club would be questioned, if he had sanctioned Pogba’s sale. 
The ex-Juventus star still has three years left on his contract and the report states its still not clear if United will allow Pogba to leave next summer.
It’s unlikely AS know the inner thoughts of Ed Woodward, but that he’d be wary over his position isn’t so outlandish.
