Manchester United confirm Pogba medical (Read Statement)

Manchester United have confirmed Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba will undergo a medical with the club.

Reports in Italy emerged early on Sunday claiming the France international had journeyed to Manchester in order to finalise his protracted transfer back to Old Trafford from the Serie A champions.


Pogba had travelled to England to join up with the Juve squad ahead of their 3-2 friendly win over West Ham at London Stadium.

But he will instead undergo a physical examination at United, who have confirmed the development.

"Paul Pogba has been granted permission to have a medical in order to finalise his transfer from Juventus to Manchester United," the statement read.

United are set to break the world transfer record for the 23-year-old midfielder, who left the club for a compensation fee of just £800,000 in 2012 after becoming frustrated with a lack of first-team opportunities under Alex Ferguson.
