Manchester United rejected Juventus's offer of a Douglas Costa and Miralem Pjanic swap deal in exchange for Paul Pogba earlier this year, according to a report.

Manchester United reportedly rejected Juventus' summer offer to sign Douglas Costa and Miralem Pjanic in exchange for Paul Pogba.

Speculation surrounding the midfielder's future has intensified ever since his agent Mino Raiola claimed that Pogba's time at Old Trafford is "over", with the France international currently tied down to United until 2022.

Despite his agent's comments, Pogba was named in the starting lineup in the Manchester derby on Saturday evening and took to Instagram after the game to reiterate his love and desire to play for the Red Devils.

Juventus are regarded as the favourites to secure their former player's signature should he indeed end up leaving United, and according to Calciomercato, United rebuffed an attempt by the Serie A champions to prise Pogba away from Old Trafford earlier this year.

The report claims that Costa and Pjanic were both offered to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - with Juve unable to fork out a fee of €100m (£91.6m) - but United were not willing to consider a deal.

Pjanic ended up moving to Barcelona in a deal which saw Arthur head in the other direction, while Costa is back at Bayern Munich on a season-long loan.
