Manchester United Could Have Got Two Class Midfielders For Paul Pogba Last Summer

Manchester United may be regretting not taking up an impressive transfer offer for Paul Pogba last summer.

Pogba has been in and out of the starting line up in recent matches, with agent Mino Raiola fuelling rumours that it may be the World Cup winner's final season at Old Trafford.

This has led to fans thinking that it may be time to let the France international go, and former club Juventus are currently the most strongly linked side.

However, the Red Devils may regret not accepting an offer from the Italian giants last summer, with the current situation possibly driving Pogba's price down.

According to CalcioMercato, Juventus were willing to let Douglas Costa and Ma Pjanic go to Old Trafford in return for a reunion with Pogba.

Manager Andrea Pirlo, who played alongside Pogba while the 27-year-old was in Turin, may believe he is the man to get the best out of the midfielder once again.

According to the report, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and co. weren't interested in the deal, deciding to stick with their man for the time being. As a result, Pjanic went on to join Barcelona in a swap deal for Arthur Melo, and Costa joined Bayern Munich on loan - meaning such an offer will not be on the table again.

With Pogba making just six starts in the 12 Premier League games to date, and scoring only once, could United now be having second thoughts about that decision?
