Fans of Manchester United and Manchester City reacted to reports that the Blues are interested in bringing Paul Pogba to the club this summer.
Pogba’s contract with Old Trafford has expired at the end of the season and he is expected to leave free, for the second time, this summer. According to various reports that first appeared in the Daily Mail, the Premier League champions are “exploring” the possibility of a stunning transfer coup, reminiscent of the relocation of Carlos Tevez to the city in 2009.
Due to the transfer rules, City will not be able to make an official offer to Pogba until the end of the campaign, but it is believed that he is on the list of options for Pep Guardiola. Mail adds that the 29-year-old has not ruled out a transfer to Etihad and will consider an offer.

According to The Athletic, Guardiola and City were thought to have ruled out signing with Pogba back in March, when it became clear that the midfielder would leave the Theater of Dreams. After Fernandinho confirms his intention to leave the club, City needs an additional central midfielder, which Pogba can fill.
Here are fans on both sides of the initial reaction to the split in the news that Pogba may go to City.
