The French midfielder’s comments have not gone down well at Old Trafford, says the Daily Mail, and United will not sell him unless they receive an “astronomical offer”.

The Daily Star reports that Pogba, who is linked with Real Madrid and former club Juventus, is on a “collision course” with United over his future.

It’s claimed that United will slap a £150m price tag on the 26-year-old.

‘Apollo’ Fury stars in Vegas

Boxer Tyson Fury “dazzled” on his Las Vegas debut, says the Daily Mirror, after stopping Tom Schwarz in the second round.

Taking inspiration from Apollo Creed of the Rocky films, Fury stepped into the ring wearing the US stars and stripes and was accompanied by James Brown’s Living in America.

After his victory over Schwarz the Daily Star reports that the “Gypsy King” could face Jarrell Miller in his next fight.

Miller missed out on a title bout against Anthony Joshua after failing three drugs tests, but the Brooklyn brawler is now being considered for a fight against Fury in New York on 5 October.
