After Tuttosport, now the Sunday Express also claims Paul Pogba informed Manchester United he wants to join Juventus in January.
The story first emerged on the front page of Saturday’s edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, who were also the first to break the approach for Cristiano Ronaldo.
It suggested Pogba was determined to push through a January switch to his former club, as the rapport with Coach Jose Mourinho had broken down irrevocably.

However, the Sunday Express updated the story with added details, suggesting Pogba has already informed Manchester United of his desire to leave and is giving them time to find a replacement.
Under new rules, players would not be cup-tied for the Champions League knockout stages.
It’s an awkward situation, because Juventus are in the same Champions League group as Manchester United, travelling to Old Trafford on October 23 and hosting them in Turin on November 7.
The World Cup winner is still only 25 years old, but left Old Trafford as a free agent in the summer of 2012.
After finding success at Juve, he returned to Manchester for a then world record fee of €105m.
