Pogba and Lukaku Brought into Man United’s Squad for the Pre-season Tour

DBasia.news –  Manchester United’s Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has gathered for a pre-season tour in Australia. Two new players have also joined the team: Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Uniquely, in the Red Devils squad, the club included two players who were in the vortex of transfers this summer, namely Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku.

Pogba was rumored to join Real Madrid or his former club, Juventus. The 26-year-old midfielder has expressed his intention to seek new challenges at other clubs. Moreover, his agent, Mino Raiola, emphasized the words of his client.

According to Raiola, the 2018 World Cup champion is in the process of leaving Man United and Raiola in negotiations. While Lukaku continues to be linked with Inter Milan.

Manchester United tagged Lukaku for 75 million pounds. While the Nerazzurri want a cheaper price. In fact, Inter are reportedly interested in recruiting Nemanja Matic and offering Radja Nainggolan plus transfer money.

Lukaku, 26, is a player who has long been targeted by Antonio Conte since when he was still training Chelsea. Lukaku also said he wanted to play in Serie A. Plus, Federico Pastorello, Lukaku’s agent, also confirmed the desire to leave the client.

So, there is a possibility that Lukaku and Pogba are only training with Man United to maintain fitness before moving to a new club in the summer transfer market.

Moreover, according to the report published by the AS, Madrid did not want Pogba to create internal friction at Man United to make it difficult for them to bring him to the Santiago Bernabeu.

“Real Madrid don’t want Paul Pogba to rebel at Manchester United. Real Madrid officials think it will be difficult for the transfer if Paul Pogba defects at Manchester United. The crisis has the potential to damage the transfer operation, “said the sentence in the AS article written by Agustin Martin.
