According to the report, Paul Pogba has been missing through injury and suspension at various times this season, forcing the Red Devils to change their style of play dramatically. Mateo Kovacic is a similar type of player to Pogba, possessing the technique and composure to run with, and play, the ball with speed. He has struggled to hold down a spot under Zinedine Zidane, and he could be open to join Manchester United.

A move to Manchester United is exactly what Mateo Kovacic needs to reignite his career, and we hope he is able to do just that.
