Manchester United have rejected an offer from Barcelona for Paul Pogba of £45m plus Yerry Mina and Andre Gomes.
Sky in Italy saying that Manchester United have turned down an audacious Barcelona swap deal for Paul Pogba.
The Spanish side offered £45m plus Colombian defender Yerry Mina and midfielder Andre Gomes, but that has been instantly turned down by the decision makers at Old Trafford.
Mina has been on Jose Mourinho's radar, but United are reportedly preparing to launch a bid to sign Harry Maguire from Leicester, while Jerome Boateng and Toby Alderweireld are also on their wanted list.
Pogba to Barcelona has been doing the rounds for a while with the World Cup winner meeting with Barcelona ambassador and fellow Frenchman Eric Abidal during pre-season.
There's no doubt that Pogba has a difficult relationship with Mourinho, who was hardly glowing in his praise for his midfielder's performances in Russia this summer.
Barcelona are the 5/2 favourites to sign Pogba but he's 4/11 to remain at Old Trafford this season and it'll take a lot more than Barcelona's offer to tempt United into selling.
Mina and Gomes have both failed to establish themselves at Camp Nou and they do not offer the required stature to help push through a deal for the man United paid over £90m for - before he went on to win a World Cup.
