What the papers say
The future of Manchester United’s Paul Pogba continues to be the subject of speculation following reports that he wants to leave Old Trafford. The Sun says the France international is desperate to play under his idol Zinedine Zidane in the future – with the former Real Madrid coach having been touted as a possible replacement for Jose Mourinho should he be sacked. But the paper also claims Barcelona are interested in trying to bring Pogba to the club and could make a fresh bid in January.
Arsenal are said to be considering launching a bid for former Chelsea full-back Filipe Luis in January. The Daily Mirror says Gunners boss Unai Emery is reportedly keen on the experienced left-back, who is out of contract at Atletico Madrid next summer.
