Transfer: Real Madrid offer Man Utd James Rodriguez, cash for Pogba

Manchester United have rejected an offer of £27.4million plus James Rodriguez from Real Madrid for Paul Pogba, according to The Times.

The Colombian has been deemed surplus to requirements at Real Madrid this season and Zinedine Zidane is looking to offload him.

Pogba has been looking for a move away from Old Trafford, with Real his main suitors.

United have slapped a £150m price tag on the Frenchman, so the offer of Rodriguez plus £27.4m falls well below what they are looking for.

Pogba failed to travel to Cardiff for a friendly against AC Milan, but manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer put his absence down to injury and an administrative error.

The midfielder did end up lining up against Blackburn Rovers Under-23s on Sunday and Solskjaer says he should be fit to play against Chelsea in the first Premier League game of the season next week.
