Juventus are preparing to launch a bid to take Paul Pogba back to Italy, according to reports.

The Manchester United midfielder has been short of his best at Old Trafford this season, and has not seen eye-to-eye with United boss Jose Mourinho.

The World Cup winner was stripped of the club's vice-captaincy last month after publicly questioning Mourinho's tactics, and Juventus are thought to be ready to swoop.

Pogba enjoyed success at the Serie A outfit between 2012 and 2016 after growing frustrated by a lack of opportunities under Sir Alex Ferguson.

And Juventus are set to table a £60 million offer to follow an initial loan move, according to tuttosport.

Pogba became United's record-signing two summers ago when he completed an £89 million move to return to Manchester.

But his former employers proved to be a class above the Reds in midweek, when Paulo Dybala's unanswered strike left United's progression to the knockout stages of the Champions League hanging in the balance.

In other news United could face competition for Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic.

Mourinho reportedly scouted the centre back in the international break when he headed to watch Serbia and there have been reports the United manager wants him to strengthen his back line.

However, Italian outlet Calciomercato claim United will face competition for the highly rated defender as Bayern Munich have also entered the race to sign the 21-year-old.

It's reported Fiorentina would not accept any less than £44million for the Serbian.
