Man United To Announce Paul Pogba Deal Within 48 Hours by sleamzy06(op): 8:44am On Jul 29, 2016

Manchester United believe they have made a significant breakthrough in their world record move for Paul Pogba and hope to finalise the deal within the next 48 hours .

United have lodged a fresh offer of around € 110m with € 10m in add -ons (equivalent to £ 100m in total ) and Juventus are also insisting on a future payment of around € 5 m if Pogba extends his contract with José Mourinho’ s side.

With the deal now in place, United are in advanced talks with Pogba ’s agent Mino Raiola about his €20 m fee which Juventus have insisted United must pay in full before the transfer is completed .
United now accept that this is the final hurdle to clear in this exhaustive summer chase and it appears the 23- year -old is set to rejoin United after four years and four Serie A titles in Turin, with Juve instantly recouping the € 90m they spent on Gonzalo Higuaín , plus more for further squad reinforcement . United are so confident about the deal that Pogba is now waiting on the green light for a medical .

The news will come as a welcome relief to supporters after earlier in the day the Real Madrid coach , Zinedine Zidane, hinted that he may be interested in joining the chase, reports theguardian.com .

Zidane said: “ I don ’t know if he will come. Until 31 August anything can happen. Everyone is interested in Pogba . He is a great footballer and when you are Madrid you always want the best .
“ But now he is not a Real Madrid player , he is a Juventus player . I can’ t say anything more. ”
However , despite Zidane’ s words there remains no bid from Madrid and the expectation now is that it is only a matter of hours before Pogba is unveiled at Old Trafford in a deal that would become the most expensive transfer in history, beating Real ’s moves for Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo.

It would cap a busy summer for Mourinho after moves for Zlatan Ibrahimovic , Eric Bailly and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
