Paul Pogba has hinted at an openness of returning to Manchester United.

United has been pursuing Pogba all summer though he's believed to prefer a move to Real Madrid. The €100 million valuation of Juventus has tempered Real Madrid's interest.

United is believed to be willing to match the asking price of Juventus should they decide to sell.

Interviewed in Spanish by ESPN in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Pogba was presented with three shirts – a Juventus one, a Real Madrid one and a Manchester United one. Asked what Juventus mean to him, he said: “That’s my team, my family, it’s where I am playing.”

Asked what Real mean to him, Pogba said: “They won the Champions League this year. They are a great club.” When the same question was put to the player regarding United, he replied: “It was my first family.”

Pogba was then asked how he would react if Mourinho called and asked him to play for United. His response should encourage the Portuguese: “I don’t know. Let’s see, let’s see. For the moment, I am here [Juventus] and I am happy here, but I don’t know where I want to go.”
