Paul Pogba has arrived in England ahead of his medical with Manchester United
Paul Pogba has landed in England ahead of his world record £110 million move from Juventus to former club Manchester United.
The France midfielder's return to Old Trafford has been the
transfer story of the summer but is nearing completion with Pogba driven
to United's Aon Training Complex in a Chevrolet Camaro on Monday
afternoon to undertake his medical after landing on a flight from Nice
via New York. He was joined in the car by one of United's security
staff.
Pogba is moving back to United - the club he left for just £800,000
in compensation in 2012 - for a new world record fee. United's training
base includes facilities where Pogba's medical will be undertaken. He
is expected to sign a five-year contract worth £290,000 a week once that
is completed.
United confirmed on Sunday that Juventus had given permission for
Pogba to take a medical with them ahead of a deal which Sportsmail
understands will go beyond the £100m mark with add-ons and agents' fees
taken into account.
It means Pogba will become the world's most expensive footballer,
his move to United taking him past the estimated £85million Real Madrid
paid Tottenham for Wales superstar Gareth Bale in 2013.
Pogba's medical is expected to be a formality, with United
expecting to make the signing official on either Tuesday or Wednesday.
The box to box midfielder, still just 23, landed at Manchester
Airport on Monday morning after jetting in from New York where he has
been on holiday.
