Hi Eds
Has MU interest in Koke and Pogba now gone?
{Ed002's Note - No and no.}

Thanks Ed for the reply. Would it be possible to say who you think are favourites for their signature at this stage?
{Ed002's Note - I really don't want to get in to that but Chelsea has had a number of discussions about Koke with Atletico (as recently as last week).
Chelsea remain keen on Paul Pogba and would like to strike a deal for the summer but are aware it would be very difficult. Again, Manchester United would like to strike a deal but I suspect the chances of a move to either are slim. Although Real Madrid moved on from their previous interest, there is every chance of a summer offer including players in part exchange. PSG and Manchester City are in a difficult situation with UEFA and subject to financial sanctions but both may well try to sell to raise the funds for Pogba or offer players in exchange. PSG have put an offer on the table to Juventus but it was not acceptable as it included Verratti and Cavani - but Juve are looking to a deal they can control. Although Barcelona are unable to sign players before 2016 they will go all out to strike a deal for next January as their rebuilding begins. They will be strong financially and will look to sell one or two high-value players to help fund the rebuild.}
