If Pogba joins Barce can see United going for Ramsey.
Obviously we demand Martial.

If the window ran until August 31, this could be a potential saga but I can't see him going with just two days left.Paul Pogba’s relationship with José Mourinho is under strain again. The Manchester United and France midfielder is thought to be upset with his manager’s assessment of his performances during the World Cup.
United said last night that Pogba was not for sale amid claims that Barcelona and Juventus want to sign the World Cup winner before the European transfer window shuts at the end of the month. It is understood that the difficult relationship between Mourinho and his 25-year-old star has become tense once again, however.
Pogba has intimated in discussions with team-mates that he is unhappy with Mourinho, with whom he has clashed on several occasions over the past two years. The cause of the latest gripe between the pair appears to stem from the manager’s critique of Pogba’s performances in Russia this summer. In an interview with beIN Sports during United’s pre-season tour to the United States last week, Mourinho praised Pogba for the way that he improved as the tournament progressed. “Paul was like the [France] team,” he said. “He started average and ended top.”
Pogba, who returned to training yesterday after his post-World Cup holiday in the US, is understood to be miffed by Mourinho’s next response, which inferred that the midfielder is unable to focus on his football over the course of a full season.
“The World Cup takes one month and for one month the players are in a closed camp, isolated from the external world, isolated from commercial compromises and isolated from every possible influence,” the United manager said. “They just think about football. It’s a perfect habitat for a young, talented player to grow up and flourish.”
Mourinho has privately voiced his concerns about the influence of Mino Raiola, Pogba’s agent, and the player’s large number of commercial appearances. Yesterday Raiola failed to respond to claims made in the Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo that he was in discussions with Barcelona and Juventus over a possible transfer of the player who cost United £89 million when he rejoined the club from Juventus two years ago.
Barcelona are willing to offer £44.6 million plus two players, Yerry Mina and André Gomes, for Pogba. Juventus are said to be willing to offer cash plus Miralem Pjanic, their 28-year-old Bosnia midfielder, for Pogba, who has three years left on his contract.
The Frenchman has admitted that he has had “small issues” with Mourinho in the past. The United manager dropped him towards the end of last season and Pogba started both legs of United’s Champions League last-16 defeat by Seville on the bench.
Ed Woodward, United’s executive vice-chairman, is a big supporter of Pogba and will not allow him to leave, especially with the Premier League transfer window closing on Thursday afternoon. Woodward is also determined to prevent Anthony Martial from departing, even though Mourinho wants the France forward to go.
It is intersting that Maureen's quite harmless comments are affecting Pogba. must be media wind.From the Times today:

Thought Mourinho's comments were gratuitous tbh, could have just praised Pogba without having a little dig.It is intersting that Maureen's quite harmless comments are affecting Pogba. must be media wind.

I read the comments again after your post. Maybe he was prompted by the line of questioning?Thought Mourinho's comments were gratuitous tbh, could have just praised Pogba without having a little dig.
Since 13/14 we've invested £440M in transfer fees alone. You said the club hasn't given the money, well it has, who's fault was it that it was spent at the wrong time and on the wrong players? All the club can do is make that money available, and to be fair to them that's exactly what they've done. The constant bashing of the board does my head in, there's been plenty of cash there AND its been spent.

Potentially the best attacking force in the world, bar NCM at Paris.
Thing is we are not desperate this time we can play the long game be it Jan or next summer.Looks like it's getting messy with Barca and for that reason i'm not confident about this. If there's a last-minute big d*ck-swinging scrum for players then I don't see Arsenal coming out of it with one of them. We tend to do best when we're isolated one on one with another club, not when there's a multi-club scramble.
