It’s finally happening. After months of speculation, Paul Pogba will officially sign for Manchester United. The Red Devils revealed this bombshell on Sunday, the very same day they beat Leicester City 2-1 to win the Community Shield.
“Paul Pogba has been granted permission to have a medical in order to finalise his transfer from Juventus to Manchester United,” the club wrote on their official website.
Although no fee was stated in the announcement, the Frenchman looks set to shatter the world-record transfer fee. The move should be finalized soon, with Sky Sports reporting that his medical will happen on midday Monday, which roughly translates into 8am ET and 11am UTC.
In the meantime, this is how fans are gearing up for the 23-year-old’s return to Old Trafford. Of course, some are on cloud nine over Pogba's imminent arrival, whilst others had a bone to pick over this extravagant transfer.
United using #pogback as though paying £110m for a player they let go for peanuts is something of a triumph
