Real Madrid are reportedly ready to renew their interest in Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

With United having taken up a 12-month option in the player's contract, the World Cup winner is now tied to the Premier League giants until 2022.

However, the playmaker has endured a below-par start to the campaign, making five starts and six substitute outings in all competitions.

At a time when United officials may be prepared to consider a sale for £53m, AS claims that Real are considering whether to make a bid for the 27-year-old.

Although Los Blancos are being frequently linked with Rennes prospect Eduardo Camavinga, Los Blancos boss Zinedine Zidane would allegedly prefer to sign Pogba.

The France international is unlikely to consider a new deal at United while he finds himself in and out of the starting lineup.
