Manchester United directors have agreed to sell Paul Pogba in January.

Manchester United directors have agreed to sell Paul Pogba in January.

The Sun says United had flat out refused to be bullied by agent Mino Raiola, who has been an irritant during Pogba's second spell at the club.

But now the Red Devils top brass are ready to accept defeat and let their £89million club-record signing go.

They want their money back but may have to drop the asking price as low as £50m to find a buyer for the French World Cup winner.

Pogba, 27, favours a return to Juventus. The Italian giants would welcome back their four-time Serie A winner — but it is whether they have the cash.

United could have sold the midfielder to Real Madrid in the summer of 2019 but their £180m fee was never going to be met by the Spaniards and the chance was gone.
