Well if you’re throwing it out there, that could be a possibility
Craig Burley on a Gareth Bale and Paul Pogba swap
However, he was asked by ESPN presenter Ross Dyer if a potential swap with Bale could change things.
“Will Gareth Bale, possibly being available to come to Man United, even in a swap deal or part swap deal, will that change Solskjaer’s mind?” Dyer said.
Burley does not think Manchester United fans would be happy with a deal that sees Pogba leave.
However, there is potential it could happen.

“However, it’s been a difficult season all round for everybody at Real Madrid.
“Not just this guy who seems to get the brunt of it.
“But I’m just wondering, unless it was a swap deal, and that will be disappointing for United fans to see Pogba going, I don’t see him coming in a money-only deal.
“That would be a lot of money, a lot of wages, and he’s 30 with injury problems.”
