Paul Pogba reached an agreement to join Manchester City before U-turning due to concerns over the reaction he would receive from Manchester United fans, according to reports.

The World Cup winner is set to leave Old Trafford as a free agent this summer as his contract is due to expire.

Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid have all held talks over a deal for the 29-year-old.

But Pogba also had the chance to remain in the Premier League as City were also keen on a move.
