Roy Keane has urged Manchester United into a rethink over Paul Pogba - insisting Louis van Gaal must try to bring the French international back to Old Trafford.

As revealed by MEN Sport, United have cooled their interest in the 21-year-old, who left them for Juventus in 2012.

He has gone on to establish himself as one of the best midfielders in the world - and is wanted by Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City and Chelsea this summer.

Van Gaal has admitted that recruiting a world class midfielder is a priority - but Roma’s Kevin Strootman remains his first choice.

Keane claims Pogba must be a target for the Dutchman as United plan to spend another £150m at the end of the season.

The Irishman said: “I think that United should sign Paul Pogba for they need a presence and physical player in midfield.

“Pogba knows the league, is big and strong and is playing brilliantly for Juventus.

“People say United can’t get Pogba but they should try.”

Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola claims his client will break the world transfer record when he leaves Juve.

Mats Hummels, Memphis Depay and Gareth Bale are also being targeted by Van Gaal, but Keane has offered the United manager more advice in the transfer market.

“I think United need a centre-half and midfielder, and Seamus Coleman for right-back,” he added.
