According to Sky Sports, Woodward “has begun negotiations in the last 48 hours” and if everything goes well with all three parties, Manchester United supporters could see Pogba returning to Old Trafford on a possible world record fee in the area of £100m.
Serie A champions Juventus are keen to keep the 23-year-old, but would find it difficult to resist such an offer, especially since they paid nothing for him in 2013.
Should Pogba makes a return to Man United, he is expected to be one of the club’s highest-paid players, with Sky Sports reporting that he is set to earn up to £300K a week.
Manchester United are in strong competition with Spanish side Real Madrid for the signature of Pogba.
Real Madrid believe the Frenchman would prefer a move to the Spanish side, which recently won the Champions League.
