Juventus: 'Paul Pogba not joining Manchester United, Manchester City'

Juventus sporting director Giuseppe Marotta has told both Manchester City and Manchester United that the club will reject any bids for midfielder Paul Pogba.

Reports on Sunday had suggested that both the Premier League giants were keen on Pogba, with City said to be toying with the idea of trading Stefan Jovetic for the Frenchman, who has also been linked with a return to Old Trafford having impressed for the Italian giants since leaving United in 2012.

Marotta told Sky Sports Italia: "We would listen with courtesy to possible offers, but the answer will always be negative.

"Juve is among the most important sides and it's not the case to imagine any sales."

Pogba's deal with the Bianconeri expires in 2016.
