Manchester City are considering a move for former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, according to the Independent.

The French midfielder is now a free agent after being let go by Juventus in November despite the reduction of his doping ban.

The 31-year-old is set to make a return to football in March and it is now being suggested he is one of the options being considered as City looks to bolster midfield options.

According to the report Pogba is reluctant to make the return to Manchester due to his United connections.
