Italian giants ready to move for Man United midfielder

Juventus are preparing an attempt to sign unsettled Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

The 18-year-old's contract expires in the summer and he has hesitated on signing an extension, leading to links with Chelsea and both Milan clubs as well as the Turin side.

United let teenage midfielder Ravel Morrison move to West Ham in January but are believed to be working hard to keep the talented Frenchman at the club.

Italian newspaper Tuttosport claims the teenager's agent Mino Raiola will meet with Juve bosses this week with the Serie A side prepared to offer Pogba a four-year deal.

Juve, who are second in the Italian top-flight, would have to pay United a fee to compensate them for the costs incurred in training the prospect since he joined from Le Havre in 2009.
