His relationship with Mourinho has broken down significantly in recent weeks and the Frenchman was stripped of Uniteds vice-captaincy following the sides draw with Wolves at Old Trafford earlier this month.

He told Italian publication La Stampa: Wed gladly welcome him back. Marotta, with his professional and human skills, can do everything as a director.

His agent, Mino Raiola, is set to discuss Pogbas future with United next month to find out whether the club would be willing to sell his client in January or at the end of the season.
