Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is heading to Juventus - and they will send Milos Krasic to Old Trafford in return, according to reports in Italy.

I know it's Talksport but do you guys think there could be any truth to these rumours? With regards to Milos Krasic isn't he a winger?? I have seen him play once or twice and to be honest I don't think he is anything special besides why would we want ANOTHER winger!? Furthermore, why would Pogba want to leave United for Juventus? Juventus of all clubs! They're not even a decent team anymore, all I can think of is because of the money.
Like Sir Matt Busby said 'you don't need to chase money at a club like Manchester United, it will eventually find you'. What is wrong with these young players nowadays..

Andy - Fair point, but there is no guarantee he will play first team football I mean look at Ravel Morrison, his not exactly a first team regular at West Ham is he?

Dont think he is match fit, he didnt train properly for months before he left.
As for pogba, number of reasons why he could leave, money, better chance of foirst team football at juve, maybe he simply doesnt fancy england after being here a couple of years and thinks turins more to his personal taste's.

Stretty - Re: Morrison. That's a good point didn't think of that.
I think it will be a big blow if we lose Pogba.

Juve may be top of serie a but they're small fry compared to United and as for all these stories about paul pogba wanting to leave, IF they're true then see you later mate, it's hardly going to be the downfall of Manchester United if a player who's had some good games for the reserves wants to chase the money elsewhere.

Some bizarre views on this post.
People are trying to say Juventus are a great team, virtually top of Serie A etc etc, and at the same time claiming an 18 year old reserve/youth CM with close to no first team experience is apparently going there because he will get instant first team football.
You have to be short of a few cells to think this has anything to do with first team football. It has everything to do with cash.
If United are offering 20k pw, the italians are obviously willing to offer substantially more to make it worth the agent and player's while, and sadly 45k sounds like an amount that might do that. A more scrupulous agent would tell Pogba to sit tight, and yes the player should have a brain but 18 year olds are quite easy for experienced people other than family members to manipulate, especially agents who's whole life is about persuading people to do things.
If Pogba at 18 years old leaves, without being patient at all, chasing a short term buck, when he is on the verge of making the United first team, with only players like a 37 year old close to the end of his career ahead of him, and others like an ageing Carrick, a sick Fletcher, a worn out Park, and a fat Anderson, then he's not the type of character you want a the club. Only Cleverley is real competition for him long term.
It's a shame as I rate him hugely, but he's clearly an Anelka type if he goes.
