Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has been seen holding a discussion with Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba in Dubai.

As a result of missing international duty with France due to a foot injury, United allowed Pogba to continue his recovery in the Middle East.

While the 26-year-old will remain out of the spotlight this weekend as he sits out the Premier League clash with Liverpool, speculation regarding his future will only intensify after meeting with Zidane.

The Mirror has published a photograph of the World Cup winner holding a conversation with Zidane, who was in the city to take part in a conference regarding the integration of artificial intelligence in the sports industry.

Despite United maintaining that Pogba is not for sale, Los Blancos are expected to return with a fresh approach in one of the next two transfer windows.
