A move to the Premier League appears to be back on after a possible switch to Manchester United earlier this week failed to materialise.

Real Madrid's strategy to sign Paul Pogba has angered the Manchester United hierarchy, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-utd-real-madrid-transfer-16705173?kop" target="_blank">Manchester Evening News</a>. The Spanish side have made no secret of their desire to sign the midfielder, who wants to leave Old Trafford this summer.
