    EPL: Paul Pogba takes decision on joining Manchester United's rival for free

     

    Reports had earlier emerged that Man City were interested in signing Pogba, this summer with the 29-year-old, set to become a free agent in July.

    Man City manager, Pep Guardiola, is looking for a central midfielder to replace the veteran midfielder Fernandinho, who is set to exit the Etihad when his deal expires this summer.

    Pogba was among those on the shortlist at Man City, although the Citizens are unable to make a formal approach until the end of the season, while foreign clubs have been able to formally sound out a move since January.

    However, according to The Athletic, it appears Pogba is not prepared to swap Man United for Man City as there is an offer on the table from a different club which is a better proposition.

    The France World Cup winner is almost certainly set to leave Old Trafford when his current contract runs out with his second spell at Man United, following a then world-record transfer fee of £89million in 2016, not going according to plan.

    Pogba has struggled for consistency as Man United have continued to underperform following the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson.

    He is also attracting attention from Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and Real Madrid.

    EPL: Victor Osimhen picks his next club between Arsenal, Manchester United

     

    Italian sports outlet, La Gazzetta dello Sport, via Manchester Evening News, reports that the Nigeria international has picked Arsenal over rivals Manchester United.

    The two Premier League sides have reportedly shown interest in bringing the Super Eagles star from Napoli to the Premier League this summer.

    Manchester United is looking to overhaul their entire team following the coming of Erik ten Hag as their new boss.

    The Red Devils are facing their worst Premier League finish in decades after missing out on top four finish this season and are now battling to qualify for the Europa League.

    With veteran striker, Edinson Cavani set to leave Old Trafford in the summer after his contract expires, the Red Devils are in the market for a centre forward.

    Arsenal also want to use Osimhen as a replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who left the Emirates Stadium for Barcelona in the winter transfer window.

    Osimhen is said to have chosen Arsenal over Manchester United majorly because of Champions League football. Arsenal are currently sitting fourth in the Premier League, with a brighter chance of finishing top four.

    However, Osimhen’s asking price could be a major stumbling block in a proposed move to Arsenal, with Napoli valuing their number 9 in excess of 100 million euros.

    The 23-year-old Nigeria international has played 59 matches for Napoli, scoring 27 goals in all competitions since joining from Lille.
