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.

We know and you know.

You will be missed. Good luck in the Europa League.
