Manchester United 'open to idea of Adrien Rabiot, Paul Pogba swap'

Manchester United would be interested in signing Adrien Rabiot as part of a swap with Juventus for Paul Pogba, according to a report.

Manchester United would reportedly be interested in signing Adrien Rabiot this summer as part of a potential swap deal with Juventus for Paul Pogba.

The speculation surrounding Pogba's future continues to gather pace, with the France international seemingly determined to force a move away from the 20-time English champions.

Rabiot, meanwhile, has been strongly linked with an exit in recent months, and United are one of the clubs thought to be keen on signing the former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder.

According to Calciomercato, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have told the Old Lady that they would be open to signing Rabiot as part of a swap for Pogba, although a number of obstacles would have to be overcome.

The report claims that Juve's £27m variation of the 25-year-old is too high in the eyes of United, while the English giants would also not be prepared to meet his £6.3m-a-year salary.

Rabiot has made 24 appearances for Maurizio Sarri's side this season but has only started 11 Serie A matches.
