Paul Pogba 'ready to go on strike to force Real Madrid move'

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is reportedly considering going on strike in a bid to force a move to Real Madrid in this summer's transfer window.

The 26-year-old, who has previously called Los Blancos 'a dream club', scored 16 times and registered 11 assists in 47 appearances for United in all competitions during the 2018-19 season.

The France international struggled for consistency for long periods, though, and has been strongly linked with a move to Madrid over the last couple of months.

Pogba has reportedly already told his teammates that he wants to leave Old Trafford this summer to move to the Spanish capital.

According to ABC, the 2018 World Cup winner will consider threatening to go on strike and refuse to report for pre-season training if the Red Devils decide against a sale.

The report adds that Pogba could also hand in a transfer request in a further attempt to leave Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, who finished sixth in the Premier League last season.

United are believed to value the former Juventus midfielder upwards of £130m.
