Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has remained coy on a possible return for Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.
United are bracing themselves for the Frenchman's exit this summer, as his contract heads towards expiration six years after he arrived for a second stint at Old Trafford. Foreign clubs have been able to hold negotiations with the 28-year-old since January, as the Manchester Evening News understands United are planning for his departure in the summer.
The Old Trafford club have been unable to negotiate new terms with Pogba and his agent Mino Raiola and Juve have been touted for a possible move, to bring him back to the club. The Frenchman impressed for the Old Lady between 2012 and 2016.

Pogba made a goalscoring return to the United side against Burnley earlier in the season, after a lengthy spell on the sideline for a thigh injury and has been a first-team regular since his comeback.
But he remains very likely to depart in the summer, with Allegri now responding to reports that Juventus are leading the chase for his signature. The Italian refused to rule out a move when pressed by reporters.
The Juventus boss said via Football Italia : "On the market, talking about Pogba or something doesn’t make sense. He’s a Manchester United player and I don’t know what he’s going to do next year, we have a good relationship but at the moment it doesn’t make sense to talk about the market. We have to think about our objectives.”
