Paul Pogba 'desperate to work with Zinedine Zidane'

Paul Pogba is reportedly willing to be patient over a move to Real Madrid because the midfielder is desperate to work under Zinedine Zidane.

Paul Pogba will reportedly wait for a move to Real Madrid because the midfielder is 'desperate' to work under manager Zinedine Zidane.

The Frenchman, who returned to Manchester United in 2016, told reporters last month that he wanted a "new challenge" elsewhere - a notion since underscored by his agent Mino Raiola.

United are in no mood to sell Pogba, whose contract at Old Trafford expires in 2021, and will not budge on their asking price of £170m for the midfielder.

According to The Mirror, Pogba is willing to wait for United to grant him a move because of a deep desire to work under fellow countryman Zidane.

Since publicly laying down his terms, the 26-year-old has travelled with the United squad on their pre-season tour and impressed during wins over Perth Glory and Leeds United.

Real are reportedly prepared to offload five senior players - including Gareth Bale and Isco - to fund a swoop for Pogba in this window.
