MAN UTD SET TO SIGN POGBA, 300,000 POUNDS A WEEK DEAL AGREED

Manchester United are expected to sign
Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba and the deal
could be done in weeks, Squawka’s chief
reporter Greg Stobart believes.
The Red Devils are already deep into transfer
talks, having agreed a fee with Pogba’s current
club Juventus and £300,000-a-week personal
terms with Pogba.
Real Madrid have provided competition for
United, but while the Spanish giants have stalled
on pursuing the transfer, the deal could happen
as soon as Pogba decides on his future.
Squawka if Pogba will join Man United, Stobart
said: “I expect Man United to sign Paul Pogba.
They’ve put in a lot of ground work, they’ve
agreed personal terms which
“They’ve put in a lot of ground work, they’ve
agreed personal terms which is massive
because he’s going to be earning £300,000-a-
week if he joins Man United.
“As of last Friday, they hadn’t made a formal bid
for him, but they had started talking to Juventus.
But it’s all going to come down to the player – he
hasn’t quite made up their mind yet.”
Stobart then later added: “My gut instinct is he’ll
sign for Man United in the next couple of weeks.”
New United boss Jose Mourinho has already
acted quickly to bring in Eric Bailly, Zlatan
Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan since
arriving at the club, but Pogba remains the top
target at Old Trafford.
Despite the season not kicking off until next
month and Pogba still being on holiday, Mourinho
will not wait to complete a deal for the France
international.
“Jose Mourinho won’t wait until August, he wants
it done now,” Stobart added.
Pogba, 23, scored one goal as France reached
the final of Euro 2016 as the hosts, but he could
not help Les Bleus win the trophy as Portugal
claimed a 1-0 victory.
