Real’s modest £27.4m bid is believed to be way off United’s £150m valuation of the 26-year-old.

The Norwegian expects Pogba to be fit for the club’s opening Premier League game against Chelsea this week.
He said: “It’s not an injury, it’s just some pain. I spoke to him after training and he didn’t feel right.
“I wasn’t going to risk anything this weekend. He’ll probably be back early on next week training.
“He should be okay for Chelsea.”
Real’s opening bid for Pogba could suggest they do not have the funds to sign the former Juventus ace.
