Paul Pogba and Aaron Ramsey swap ‘could happen’ says pundit
Manchester United have made Juventus star Aaron Ramsey a transfer target this summer and United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been told that the midfielder "has the appetite" to thrive under the Norwegian if he makes the switch to Old Trafford.

And while Ramsey has not made an instant impact in Turin, Coleman is confident the player is more than capable of playing under the pressure that comes with wearing a United jersey.
"It may take him a season to settle in there, but if it is not going to happen for him, he is definitely the type of player who can handle playing for Manchester United," Coleman told beIN Sports.
"When you play for Manchester United, the jersey is much heavier.

"You can play for another club in the same league, a smaller club with all respect, and the weight of the jersey is not the same.
"You play for a big club and you've got to be able to handle that week in week out and he's certainly got the appetite for that."
And while Juventus aren't aggressively looking to sell Ramsey, who is under contract until 2023, this summer, according to Italian publication CalcioMercato, they are willing to consider offers and also including him in a player swap deal.
If Ramsey was to be included in a swap deal, the report claims Juve currently value his worth at £26m (€30m).
Ramsey is reportedly one of two players Juventus have offered United for Pogba, with the other being winger Douglas Costa.

And while Coleman can understand why Ramsey left Arsenal to join Juventus, he also thinks the box-to-box midfielder is too good to be sitting on the bench in Turin.
"I understand why he went to Juventus," Coleman added.
"Obviously they are a great club, they have a great chance at winning the league but he wants to be in the starting eleven, that is where he needs to be.
"And in my opinion, he is good enough to be there, so I don't know what has happened and why he is not in the starting eleven, but I was glad when I heard he had gone to Juventus.
"He had been at Arsenal a long time and probably didn't achieve what he wanted to achieve.
"He had gone there for good reason but he is too good to be sitting on the bench in my opinion."
