The French midfielder has experienced a tough couple of weeks.

After an argument with Jose Mourinho against Tottenham, he was hauled off and subsequently dropped for the next game.

He returned to the starting line-up against Newcastle, but was taken off again after United went 1-0 down.

And reports have emerged that the former Juventus star got into a huge dressing-room bust-up with his manager.

For the Red Devils’ FA Cup clash with Huddersfield this week, the 24-year-old missed out mysteriously through illness.

But ESPN pundit Steve Nicol reckons they need to sign one player to get the best out of him.

Many agree to get the best out Pogba, United must play a three-man midfield.

And Brazil star Fabinho is the ideal man to fit in.

When asked whether Monaco would let Fabinho go, Nicol said: “I think they will.

"Monaco have shown that they are not going to hold on to their best players.

“I think that is exactly what they will do.

“I think he will go to Man Utd. It will be a great move for United. If you can get with [Nemanja] Matic in the middle, it will free up [Paul] Pogba.”

Monaco have already experienced an exodus this season.

Kylian Mbappe, Benjamin Mendy, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Bernardo Silva all left the club in the summer.
