BLAISE MATUIDI is being tipped by bookies to join Manchester United this summer.
Jose Mourinho has made bolstering his midfield options ahead of next season a top priority to bridge the gaping gap between themselves and Manchester City.
United are set to lose Michael Carrick who will retire at the end of the season, while Marouane Fellaini has rejected a new deal at Old Trafford and looking to be on his way out of the club.
Bookmakers Ladbrokes believe Juventus star Matuidi could be heading to United and are pricing him at just 6/4 to make the move.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes told Starsport: “We know Mourinho plans to go all out in the summer for a Carrick replacement.
“And the latest odds suggest Paul Pogba will soon be playing club football alongside his France teammate Matuidi.”
