Manchester United may be poised to activate Barcelona star Sergi Roberto's release clause.
Spanish publication Don Balon says the midfielder is unimpressed Paulinho's imminent arrival and eager to ensure ample playing time.
The 25-year-old Roberto was among the substitutes for the Spanish Super Cup clash with Real Madrid on Sunday night.
