Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane would reportedly prefer to sign Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba over Tottenham Hotspur playmaker Christian Eriksen.

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is reportedly prioritising the signing of Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.

Zidane will make widespread changes to his first-team squad during the summer, with Real finishing 19 points adrift of champions Barcelona, and it has resulted in the Spanish side being linked with a number of high-profile players.

Pogba and Tottenham Hotspur playmaker Christian Eriksen are said to be on Real's shortlist, but Marca claims that Zidane has a preference out of the pair.

The report suggests that Zidane is currently contemplating how to use his budget to sign Pogba, despite Eriksen being likely to be available for a lower fee due the one year remaining on his contract.

Pogba has two years left on his deal at Old Trafford, and there have been conflicting reports over whether United intend to keep the France international at the club for at least another year.
