Manchester United could move early for Paul Pogba's replacement if his heart is set on leaving next summer. Amid uncertainty over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Manchester United future, the clock continues to tick down on Paul Pogba's contract. Pogba is currently set to leave United as a free agent for the second time next summer, but his status could depend on Solskjaer's. On Fabrizio Romano's Twitch, Joris Crolbois claimed the 28-year-old is waiting to see if Solskjaer is sacked before deciding on his next move. Crolbois' comments suggested Pogba will look to leave if the Norwegian boss is still in charge, amid reports that several senior United players have lost faith in him. The Frenchman's exit would leave a significant hole to fill in the Red Devils' squad, which could prompt an early move to replace him. Express Sport looks at three midfielders United could make a play for in January if it's clear Pogba has his heart set on a summer exit.
