Zinedine Zidane reportedly told Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba that he is now or never joining Real Madrid.
Pogba was one of United's top players in the 2018-1919 campaign, scoring 17 goals and 10 badists in all competitions.
The Frenchman wanted to join Madrid last summer but Manchester United blocked his start, just three years after returning to the club after Juventus.
But apparently, Pogba's heart is turned towards the Bernabeu. According to reports, he reportedly told friends that he had no intention of staying in Manchester.

Zidane is a big fan of Pogba and has made the midfielder one of his main targets after returning to Real Madrid as a manager earlier in the year.
But the Sun says Zidane made it clear to Pogba and his agent Mino Raiola that he was not ready to wait for a new transfer window to get his signature.
Zidane reportedly said that if Pogba wanted to join Real, it would be necessary for this summer. The ultimatum should force the winner of the World Cup to do even more to try his luck.
United pointed out that Pogba was not for sale throughout the season and Ed Woodward would be particularly reluctant to see him leave.
If, as expected, Pogba leaves Manchester United, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will seek to bring at least two new midfielders to Old Trafford.
Marouane Fellaini left the Red Devils in January, while Ander Herrera and Juan Mata are also closely linked to summer transfers.
Asked about Real's interest in Pogba this weekend, football legend Zidane said, "He's a good player, but you can ask me about another player and I'll tell you the same thing."
I said he's a good player and I know him. I will not say more because if everything is fine, you are excused, but if you say something stupid …

"Pogba is a Manchester United player, he is a very good player but he plays for Manchester United.
"We will see at the end of the season who will leave and who will stay. I did not say anything about our Pogba signature. I will not say anything until everything is finished. "
Manchester United will face Huddersfield Town at the Theater of Dreams on Sunday. David de Gea will start at the goal despite his series of mistakes over the past six weeks.
