‘Sounds Like Ramos All Over Again’ ‘Don’t See This Happening’ Fans Respond As United Line Up Surprise Pogba Replacement

Manchester United have told the agent of Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka that they are keen on him replacing Paul Pogba at Old Trafford, according to Sport1‘s chief reporter Florian Plettenberg.

The German journalist has backed claims made by another reporter, Bild‘s Christian Falk, that the 26-year-old is being targeted by the Red Devils:

While reports appear to suggest that there is genuine interest in Goretzka, United supporters on Twitter are sceptical, with many believing that the player is using the club as a way to get himself a lucrative new contract with Bayern:

The transfer does seem a bit unlikely. Recent reports have indicated that United are working hard on renewing Pogba’s contract while, even if the Frenchman did leave, the Manchester club still have Donny van de Beek to take his place.

Goretzka is a quality footballer, having scored eight goals and provided nine assists in 32 appearances last season, but he is not the type of player United desperately need.
