Juve to offer Can, Mandzukic in Pogba deal?

Juventus are willing to offer Manchester United Emre Can and Mario Mandzukic as part of a bid for Paul Pogba, according to a report.

Juventus are reportedly willing to offer Manchester United both Emre Can and Mario Mandzukic as part of a bid for unsettled midfielder Paul Pogba.

The France international has allegedly made it clear to United that he will not be signing a new contract with the club.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side managed to keep hold of the 2018 World Cup finalist during the summer despite suggestions that Real Madrid made a strong play for his services.

Pogba is still seemingly determined to leave the 20-time English champions, though, and Juve are believed to be interested in bringing him back to Turin.

According to Tuttosport, the Italian champions are preparing to offer both Mandzukic and Can to the Red Devils in a bid to secure a deal for the former Le Havre youngster.

Mandzukic, who was strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford in the latter stages of the summer transfer window, has not played a single minute of football for the Old Lady this season.

Former Liverpool midfielder Can, meanwhile, has made just three substitute appearances in Serie A with the 25-year-old falling down the pecking order at the club since the arrival of new head coach Maurizio Sarri.
