Ex-Liverpool star Emre Can ‘keen’ on Man Utd transfer to replace wantaway Paul Pogba

FORMER Liverpool midfielder Emre Can is eyeing a return to the Premier League with Manchester United, according to reports.

The Germany ace only joined Juventus in 2018 but has fallen out of favour in Maurizio Sarri’s plans.

Since being appointed as manager, Sarri has limited Can to just three substitute appearances in the league.

Can was also furious after being left out of the club’s Champions League squad.

He is expected to be made available in January and could prove the perfect addition to United’s struggling midfield.

Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is eyeing New Year additions, particularly in midfield with Paul Pogba’s future looking increasingly uncertain.

The Frenchman’s move to Real Madrid took a step closer after he was pictured meeting with boss Zinedine Zidane in Dubai.

Pogba has made it no secret of his desire to play at the Bernabeu.

Can’s availability means clubs across Europe are braced to scrap for his signature but reports in Tuttosport claim that he favours a move to Old Trafford.

He made 29 league appearances last season under former boss Massimiliano Allegri – who is primed to replace Solskjaer should the Norwegian receive the sack. 

Allegri has already admitted he is learning English with the prospect of managing in the Premier League.
