According to the Express, he has now undergone a medical in Los Angeles ahead of the move.
However, Mino Raiola was quick to deny the claims a deal has been struck between Juventus and Manchester United through his official twitter account.

He is a great player and when you’re with Madrid you always want the best. “Anything can happen until August 31”, said Pogba’s compatriot.
The midfielder’s agent will receive a 20m euro commission upon the completion of the transfer, with Pogba set to pocket 13m euro per season in wages at Old Trafford as well as 7m euro in image rights.
