Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has claimed that Manchester United may decide to cash in on French midfielder Paul Pogba at the end of the season.

Pogba has been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid over the past few months after reports emerged which claimed that Pogba would leave the club if Champions League football was not achieved this season.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said he ‘thinks’ the Frenchman will still be at Old Trafford next season, but Carragher believes the club may well cash in on the £89million signing in the upcoming transfer window while his stock is still high.

“The immediate concern for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not who Manchester United should buy to rebuild the club. It is who they sell,” Carragher wrote in his Telegraph column.

“There would be one name on the top of my list. Paul Pogba.

“If Real Madrid have £100 million and Zinedine Zidane wants him, United can solve the first of many problems as their long reconstruction gets underway.”

Pogba has not fulfilled his clear ability at Old Trafford and that was partly down to the way he was treated under former boss Jose Mourinho.

But Solskjaer plays just the type of attacking football that the Frenchman enjoys and despite a good start under the former striker, he has not impressed like many had liked.

And if the right offer does arrive at the end of the season, then United should cash in and try to acquire a player or two that put more effort into the side that what Pogba has over the past few weeks.

There has been a number of players linked with a move to the club, and if United can get back into the top four and Champions League football for next season, then they will have no problems attracting some world class players.
