However, the funny thing is that Ed Woodward did not use the phrase “not for sale at any price”. He just said “generally” which means he will not sell at a low price, but can sell at a high price!
Woodward went on to highlight the fact that Pogba, who won the World Cup with France last year, still has two years left on his contract at United, and United have made it clear that selling the 26-year-old is not on their agenda.
But when pressed by the press, Ed Woodward revealed he was willing to consider offers in excess of 150 million euros.
Although Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has made clear his desire to sign the midfielder, a move to the Bernabeu now seems highly unlikely, according to Sport.

It can be seen that although U23 Vietnam is missing some stars in this gathering because they are participating in the national team for the King's Cup 2019, they still attract fans. This is also understandable when over the past year, Vietnamese football has dramatically transformed to affirm its name in the regional and continental arena.
Although this was just a friendly match to review the team's strength in preparation for the SEA Games at the end of the year, because of the love and excitement of the fans, assistant Kim Han Yoo's students still had to fight their best to serve the audience.

With several key players having just played in the Champions League final, England took to the field without their strongest squad. Meanwhile, both Dutch players who had just won the Champions League with Liverpool, Van Dijk and Wijnaldum, were present.
The 1-1 draw after 90 official minutes forced the two teams to go through 30 minutes of extra time.
With a convincing 3-1 victory despite taking 120 minutes, the Netherlands reached the final of the inaugural UEFA Nations League and faced hosts Portugal in the final match. Meanwhile, England will play Switzerland in the third-place match.

This result helps Novak Djokovic extend his Grand Slam winning streak to 26 and get closer to his second goal of winning the "Nole Slam" (winning four different Grand Slam tournaments in a row).
The number one seed faced difficulties early on but overcame them by saving three break points in the third and fifth games of the first set. However, errors in Zverev's service games, especially in long shots, prevented Djokovic from taking the initiative and the match remained even in the first games.
With the score at 4-4, Djokovic missed two consecutive groundstrokes and the German player did not miss the opportunity to win the game. But in the next game, Zverev could not maintain the game after continuous rallies with 20 racket touches in each situation.
The German double-faulted in the deciding game, before Djokovic closed out the first set that lasted nearly an hour.
In the second set, Nole regained the "destructive" form he had shown in the previous rounds. He won 13 of the first 14 points with his delicate backhands. Playing with an unstable mentality, Zverev made many mistakes and was almost helpless against the pressure from the other side of the net. In this losing set, the fifth seed made 11 unforced errors, but in the last game alone, there were four double faults.
Djokovic completely dominated the match and had two more breaks of serve at the end of the deciding set, before winning the match point on the second match point to reach the Roland Garros semi-finals for the first time since the 2016 season./.
