Gazzetta dello Sport claims Pogba travelled on a flight from New York, United States of America to Manchester organised in “strict secrecy” and he touched down on Saturday afternoon.

Paul Pogba has arrived in Manchester to undergo a medical ahead of his world record transfer to United, according to reports.
Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri said he had “summoned” Pogba to return to Turin ahead of pre-season training on Monday.
“It’s only fair that Jose Mourinho should choose not to talk of Pogba as long as he’s a Juventus player”, Allegri told the press. “So that means he has training here in Vinovo on Monday”.
On Wednesday, Mourinho said United were going to sign one more player “for sure” and hoped the player would be in place before the start of the Premier League campaign at Bournemouth on August 14.
It’s a staggering amount to play for one player, but at 23 Pogba is already world-class and with experience he will only get better.
Speaking on Friday, he said: “I don’t like to speak about other players”. Pogba is a Juventus player and until officially he isn’t, we stay like this.
But with one week to go before the start of the Premier League season, the manager again gave a timeline for the deal to possibly be completed.

The Portuguese intends to build a new-look Manchester United as he looks to return the club to previous glories, with things having gone south ever since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013.
