Paul Pogba 'chooses Manchester United'

Paul Pogba has told his France team-mates that he has decided to join Manchester United, that is according to French daily L’Equipe.

Pogba, who left United in 2012 when Sir Alex Ferguson was boss, has been at the centre of a £100 million bid from the FA Cup winners, according to numerous reports.

However, Spanish giants Real Madrid are also one of the favourites to land the French playmaker, the reports added.

Pogba was in sparkling form last season as he helped Juventus win a domestic double, but the 23-year-old has decided to link up with JoseMourinho at Old Trafford, according to highly reliable French daily L’Equipe.

“Pogba has told close friends and members of the French squad that he wants to go full circle and return to Manchester United,” the report reads.The report adds that United official are set to meet with their Juventus counterparts in the next few days to hammer out the finer details of the deal.

L’Equipe is about as reliable as they come. If they print a story then you can almost guarantee that it has been well sourced and is of substance. However, that is not to say that Pogba to United is guaranteed as there are a multitude of other factors at play here.

Having said that, United appear more than willing to shell out a world record fee, Pogba wants a return and Juventus would surely be mad not to accept that sort of money for a player they signed for nothing.
