Manchester United news and transfers: Paul Pogba talks set to begin with Juventus?


Comeback? United want Pogba return
Here are all the latest Red Devils stories from today's Daily Mirror...

Tackling a problem

Louis van Gaal has warned his Manchester United players they must keep their coolin the heat of derby battle tomorrow.
United had to play with 10 men for 51 minutes in November's 1-0 defeat to City at the Etihad Stadium, following Chris Smalling's dismissal for two bookings.
The veteran boss said United's total of five red cards this season is the most he has endured as a manager and has told his players they cannot afford another tomorrow.
Van Gaal knows that if United are to end City's run of four straight derby victories and continue their own winning run in the Premier League, they must not lose their heads.
"I have started our preparation with the red card," said Van Gaal.

LVG's dream



Louis van Gaal revealed he "dreams" of winning Sunday's Manchester derby.
Manchester United take on local rivals City at Old Trafford, with Van Gaal's side aiming to go four points clear of the faltering champions with a win.
And Van Gaal said victory over Manuel Pellegrini's side would be the realisation of a dream for the United boss.
"Of course I dream of it, that is not the problem," said Van Gaal.
"Every player dreams of victory. I have to think with my staff and my players, already a lot of days, how we have to beat City."

Depay 'likely' to leave PSV



Manchester United have been given a boost in their pursuit of Memphis Depay after PSV director Marcel Brands revealed the winger is likely to leave the Philips Stadion in the summer.

The Dutchman is a transfer target of Louis van Gaal as the 63-year-old looks to bolster his wide options ahead of an attempted title charge next season.
Depay was part of Van Gaal's Holland squad to reach the World Cup semi-finals last summer and Brands has admitted the club is resigned to the fact that they could lose their star man.
"The chances are very high that he leaves," Brands told ANP. "If you see what clubs are enquiring about him, they really are the best in Europe.
"When I talk for PSV I would say he is not ready and should continue here for another year. But I am realistic and if I worked at a big European club, I’d buy him without question."
