United won't accept any move as Juve keen to pounce
With just 12 days left in the current transfer window, United will be in no mood to lose one of their star players. The club will do everything to prevent this move from happening. Juventus haven't made an official bid yet, as they are looking to raise funds from key sales. Acquiring the services of Pogba makes perfect sense for the Italian giants.
