UK Back Pages: Manchester United Ready to Spend £60M to Bring Back Paul Pogba
Manchester United are prepared to swallow their pride and buy back Paul Pogba from Juventus, according to a report in Sunday's sport pages.
The Sunday Telegraph makes the bold claim that United will make the French player the cornerstone of their transfer business in the summer—and expect to spend £60 million luring him back—after he left on a free transfer three years ago:

The full report adds that the deal would be one of five signings United are targeting in the summer—and that none of those transfers depend on the Red Devils making the top four.
Elsewhere on the back pages, the focus is divided between the thrilling finale to the Six Nations rugby and the refereeing calamity that saw Neil Swarbrick send off the wrong man during Manchester City's clash with West Brom:

That said, there is a final interesting line in the Daily Star on Sunday, with Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal hinting that he had turned down the Liverpool job before it ended up going to Brendan Rodgers.
The two go head-to-head later on Sunday as Manchester United travel to Liverpool in the Premier League.
