Pogba, 28, is out of contract at Old Trafford next summer and should he fail to agree a new deal will likely be offloaded in the coming months.
The French World Cup is rumoured to be asking for a whopping £400,000-per week in wages if he is to extend his stay at Old Trafford.
Should the club fail to agree a new deal and then fail to sell him, the Frenchman would be eligible to agree a pre-contract with a club outside of England from Jan 2022 – something the Red Devils’ hierarchy are likely to guard against.
According to a recent report the Mirror, in an attempt to plan for all possible outcomes from this week’s contract talks, the club has earmarked three players who could come in and fill Pogba’s boots.
It has been claimed that the list of replacements are West Ham’s Declan Rice, Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi and Atletico Madrid’s Saul Niguez.
