Paul Pogba finally made the trip to Australia with Manchester United, and his first moments with his team-mates were not what fans would have expected.
The Frenchman kicked off by snubbing fans that waited for Manchester United players meters away from their hotel entrance. Then, he decided to "sign" a few balls while in the lobby. But the action that really caught the eye of those following the Red Devils was an argument he had with Jesse Lingard as the entire team headed to the training grounds.
Footage posted on Manchester United's Twitter feed shows how, as the entire squad went for a walk to relax after the long flight to Australia, Pogba and Lingard had a few words. While the audio is not available, the gestures on Lingard and Pogba's faces shows that neither footballer was happy with the previous exchange between them. In fact, defender Victor Lindelof had to step in to ease the tension between the two footballers, as he place his arm around Pogba's neck to end the argument.
Have a look at the footage. The moment when Pogba and Lingard seem to be arguing can be found after the first eleven seconds.

Pogba seems to be determined to end his stint at Manchester United, with Juventus and Real Madrid being his potential destinations. Earlier reports suggested that Pogba was going to skip this part of the pre-season, but making the trip may be a way to try and pave the way for a transfer, rather than making things more complicated between the club and himself.
