“While all those close to negotiations have told ESPN FC that the Old Trafford club remains favourites to sign the 23-year-old French star, they are getting increasingly frustrated with the impasse, ahead of what is described as a make-or-break week for the deal.
“Some among the United hierarchy even suspect Pogba may be “stalling them” to see if Real Madrid come in with an official bid.
“Juventus are still refusing to budge on their asking price for the player, meaning United will have to get tougher in negotiations, or pay an astonishingly high world-record fee.”

Zidane earlier hinted that Real Madrid could make a move for Euro 2016 star, but are not ready to meet asking price.
Is there a chance? I don’t know, we’re here working,” Zidane shrugged.
“Anything can happen until August 31. He’s not a Madrid player yet. We can’t talk about what might happen. I always say the same to this question.
“Everyone is interested in Pogba. He’s a great player and when you’re Madrid you always want the best. But you have to respect some things.
“He’s a Juve player and today I can’t say anything.
“It’s hard for Madrid to improve their squad, we’ve always had the best. We’ve won with this squad. There are good players, and things can always be improved, and always will be at this club.
“There are always players who can improve the team.”
