United are due to spend part of the pre-season period in China and, according to the programme, which airs on the channel La Sexta, Pogba has refused to cooperate with the club's attempts to sort out his visa for the trip to the country.

The report follows a revelation in the UK newspaper the Times that the 26-year-old is keen to open talks with Madrid over a summer switch to the Bernabéu.
