Paul Pogba is edging closer to joining Premier League outfit Manchester United, if the recent activity at Juventus is anything to go by. A viral photo doing rounds on social media shows that Pogba’s teammate Paulo Dybala will wear the number 10 shirt next season, which was originally worn by the Frenchman at the Turin-based club last season. The photo shows a Juventus’ No 10 shirt allegedly on sale at an adidas store in Paris bearing Dybala’s name.

Several reports in England also suggest that the Italian champions have already reached an agreement with the highly-rated midfielder, and a deal could be announced before the end of the week. Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho also admitted that the club wants to sign one more player, who will most likely wear the number six shirt, which is usually worn by a midfielder. The Portuguese tactician was speaking after the goalless draw between Man United and Everton in Wayne Rooney’s testimonial match on Wednesday.
Pogba’s move to Man United is expected to be the most expensive transfer in football history. The Red Devils have reportedly forked out £120m for the signature of their former player, who was released to Juve four seasons ago during Sir Alex Ferguson’s reign.
