Manchester United are reportedly preparing to slash their £150m asking price for Paul Pogba this summer.

Manchester United are reportedly prepared to lower their asking price for Paul Pogba after the side concluded a £46.7m deal for Bruno Fernandes.

The Frenchman has been keen to leave Old Trafford since last summer, with Real Madrid and former club Juventus heavily linked, but potential sides have been put off by United's firm £150m valuation.

Injury has put paid to the possibility of Pogba departing this month, but with a deal for Portuguese attacker Fernandes now complete, The Sun says that he is now very likely to move on at the end of the season.

The newspaper claims that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are prepared to let him leave "for a lot less" than £150m in the summer as the Norwegian manager oversees a huge squad overhaul.

Pogba became the world's most expensive player at the time when he sealed a move back to United from Juve in 2016 for a fee of €105m (£89.3m).
