Has a Manchester United employee’s Twitter account accidentally revealed that Paul Pogba is a done deal?

United fans believe it's done

Simon Lloyd

By now, we thought you’d heard enough of Paul Pogba’s “it’ll be confirmed in the next 48 hours” move back to Manchester United.

But seeing as you’ve bothered to click through to this story, it seems you’ve not quite had your fill.

So far, the hunt for clues as to where Pogba’s future may lie has been an exhausting one in which a chef in Los Angeles and some bloke who dyed the Frenchman’s hair in Miami have been held up as credible sources.

In recent days, the trend has been to carefully examine Pogba’s social media posts for cryptic clues as to where his future may lie.

With reports yet again claiming that a deal is close, United fans believe there’s another reason to believe Pogba will be back in red in the near future.

As pointed out by the tweet below, Ben Hibbs, United’s digital content manager, has recently followed the 23-year-old, leading many to believe it’s *finally* a done deal.

Incidentally, Ben Hibbs has also recently followed cyclists Geraint Thomas and Chris Froome as well as Pokemon GO – none of which are believed to be signing for United any time soon.

Along with Hibbs, MUTV presenter Jamie Sheppard has also started following Pogba again in the last few hours.

For crying out loud, put us all out of our misery and announce Pogba.
