Reports in England claim the Paul Pogba to Real Madrid saga has taken another turn, with Manchester United telling the France international he must hand in a formal transfer request to get the move.

As Zinedine Zidane begins to rebuild his side, he has warned countryman Pogba that it’s a case of now or never if he is to join him in Spain.

According to the Sun, while United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reportedly conceded that Pogba does not want to play for his side any more, executive vice chairman Ed Woodward has said losing their record signing would only harm them further after failing to qualify for the Champions League.

And that means Pogba will have to try to force his way out by submitting a transfer request.
