Paul Pogba's former club Juventus are reportedly planning to strike a loan deal for the Manchester United midfielder in the January transfer window.

The 27-year-old's agent Mino Raiola added fuel to the fire regarding Pogba's future by claiming that his client's time at Old Trafford was almost up, although Pogba was nevertheless named in the starting lineup for Saturday's Manchester derby.

The World Cup-winning Frenchman took to social media after the game to proclaim that he would continue to fight for the club, but Pogba now has just 18 months left on his Old Trafford deal.

According to The Mirror, Juve are the frontrunners to land Pogba if Raiola's comments are accurate and he does end up leaving, with the Serie A champions hopeful of bringing the Frenchman back to Turin on loan next month.

The report also claims that any deal for the United man would include an obligation to buy in the summer, but it is unlikely that the Red Devils will be able to recoup anything close to the £89m they handed over to Juventus for Pogba back in 2016.

Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are also believed to be monitoring developments surrounding Pogba's future.
