The France international has been struggling with an ankle injury for weeks now and last featured for United in the 1-1 draw against Arsenal.
Now, According to Sky Sports, Pogba could be on the move to the Bernabeu as early as January, with the World Cup winner still keen on exiting Old Trafford.
Pogba's 2019-20 campaign has been disrupted by foot injuries, resulting in just five Premier League appearances.
Coach Solskjaer said last week that he hoped Pogba will return from injury before the end of the year – but claimed he was still some way off from training.
Also, According to Spanish Outlet Cope, despite refusing to let the French midfielder leave last summer, Solskjaer is now warming to the idea of allowing Pogba to leave Old Trafford for a fee of around £128million.
Speaking on radio show Tiempo de Juego, journalist Paco Gonzalez claimed that the 26-year-old has already fully recovered from his ankle injury, but has asked not to play.
Sources close to Utd reportedly confirmed Gonzalez' claims.
Pogba, who has not played since September 30, is rehabilitating after an ankle injury and has spent time in Miami this month.
He was pictured playing basketball with Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler, but is said to be refusing to get back on the pitch for United as he does not want to risk his chances of earning a move away by returning to action too soon.
However, Solskjaer insists he has no issue with Pogba playing basketball, although he now expects him back in action later than he originally hoped.
'He had another test and scan just at the start of the international break and it's not healed yet,' the United boss said in a press conference last week.
'He's stepping up the recovery so he doesn't have to have the cast on.
'He's been out for six or seven weeks so he's gradually stepping it up, walking, on the treadmill and bike. We hope to see him in 2019.
'We don't play basketball. I don't see many basketball players tackling ankles, twisting and turning with studs. He's not ready to train.'
