'People with a brain' should back United overhaul: Mourinho

But Drogba - who played under Mourinho at Chelsea - believes that the United manager's treatment of Pogba, although it may appear harsh, suggests that he is fond of the Frenchman and keen to challenge him. The Portuguese coach is now said to be targeting a number of high profile summer signings, with Pogba potentially set for an exit.

The top player on his hit list are Bernabeu stars Raphael Varane and Toni Kroos as Mourinho looks to import quality into defence and midfield.

If the Spanish media can get a little Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola battle in an elaborate transfer rumour then it's an open goal.

The latter has been identified as an alternative to Pogba, but Los Blancos are said to be demanding close to £100m.

Luke Shaw is being tipped to leave after a reported bust-up with Mourinho and 32-year-old Ashley Young has been the first choice left-back for most of this season so a long-term solution is needed.

If Pogba is deemed dispensable by the summer, he will likely have several suitors.

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane on the other hand would like to have his countryman at the Bernabeu, the club would prefer to take David De Gea from United.

Mourinho gave a small insight into their deteriorating relationship when he admitted that he did not speak to Pogba when he pulled out of the FA Cup win against Huddersfield on the eve of the tie.

Carvalhal, who spent time learning under Mourinho while at Chelsea, admits he shares similarities with his counterpart but says the former Inter Milan and Real Madrid boss has a more confrontational approach to management.

However, his agent, Mino Raiola, remains convinced Pogba was a "cheap" signing who should have cost twice as much.
