An end to the summer’s longest running transfer saga appears to be in sight, with the news that Manchester United have cleared a major obstacle in their pursuit of Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba.
Obviously some supporters are speculating that the midfielder could be on his way to Manchester but the Express claim that Pogba is in fact heading to NY for the final part of his holiday in the United States.
Reports of a medical already having taken place are believed to be wide of the mark as there remains to be a deal in principle agreed between the two clubs.
Any switch back to the Red Devils will be a blow for Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane, who revealed earlier this week that he was keen to change Pogba’s direction from Manchester to Spain.
The France global left United as a free agent and was signed by Juventus in 2012, where he has won the Serie A title every year.
“I hope he is going to want to return to United and prove he’s a top-class player”. I always say how things are, but now is not the time to talk about this.
It is also understood that Pogba has informed friends and Juve team-mates that he’s due to re-sign for his former club imminently. One source close to United had said that the next 48 hours would be make or break for the transfer.
“Zlatan is a fantastic player and, immediately in training, we could feel what I call “functional empathy” – people looking to him, him looking to connect with other players”.
