Jose Mourinho hopes Real Madrid will step up their pursuit of Paul Pogba, as it would pave the way for Toni Kroos to join Manchester United, the Mirror reports. The paper claims that a bust-up between Pogba and Mourinho, mainly over their system and where he fits within it, means the Frenchman could be on his way out of Old Trafford.
Paper Round''s view: Well this all sounds rather outlandish. The idea that one quality player must make way for another. If Kroos can play alongside Casemiro and Luka Modric, there's no reason why Kroos and Pogba cannot fit into the same team. Whatever this issue with Pogba is, if there even is one, it'll soon blow over.

Wenger''s final words to Giroud
Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud has revealed the final conversation he had with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger before leaving the club in January. With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang arriving at the Emirates, Giroud''s already-limited playing time seemed likely to diminish further, leading him to join rivals Chelsea before the window closed. Giroud opened up about the last words he had with Wenger:
Paper Round''s view: All very amicable, and no surprise either. Despite struggling for starts, it cannot have been easy for Giroud to move on, and it's reassuring to see and hear of a player leaving on good terms.
