Paul Pogba’s cryptic message has Manchester United fans freaking out

Conan Doherty

Day number 957 of Paul Pogba to Manchester United and reports are saying that it’s a done deal.

But just one thing: the deal is not done yet.

The Frenchman’s return to Old Trafford is looking more and more likely by the second and, after United have reportedly had a £122m bid accepted for the midfielder – not to mention Juventus going out and spending most of it on Gonzalo Higuain already – the transfer seems imminent.

According to beIN Sports, all that was holding the deal up was the player’s agent Mino Raiola whose commission fee was said to be exceeding £20m.

It seems that the English champions fifth-place finishers are on the brink of announcing the deal though and Paul Pogba’s latest Instagram post has United fans falling over themselves.

The darkened photo with a hint of one colour being highlighted has sent out one message to desperate supporters grasping for any bit of hope: Paul Pogba is a red.

We know and you know.

Even Juventus fans have accepted it.

But what does the red mean??

United fans are certain.

It’s a beautiful colour.

A very beautiful colour.

 

But a colour is not an announcement.
