Your support makes all the difference.Paul Pogba has been pictured arriving at Manchester United’s training ground for a medical ahead of his world record transfer from Juventus.
The 23-year-old midfielder was photographed arriving at Carrington in a Chevrolet Camaro on Monday afternoon – the car manufacturer is the club’s main shirt sponsor.
Pogba is set to return to Old Trafford having left four years ago after making just seven appearances for the senior team under Sir Alex Ferguson.
The France international is expected to move for £89m, a world record transfer fee, and sign a five-year contract worth £290,000 a week.
Pogba arrived with his mother, Yeo Moriba, following in the car behind. The medical will be completed on Monday afternoon, with the deal potentially announced on Tuesday.
Regarding Pogba, United boss Jose Mourinho said after Sunday's Community Shield victory over Leicester: "United is the perfect club to bring him to the level he wants to be.
"The Premier League is the perfect habitat for that. If you want to be the best player in the world, if you go to Barcelona or Real Madrid you are in trouble because I don't think the other two big guys (Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo) will let you.
"Here he is in the most seen, worldwide, championship which is absolutely incredible, with a team which wants to bring Manchester United to the top again. We have everything to give him and we know the reasons why he wants to come to us.
"Money he would get at any big club. He comes because he knows the club, knows the city, many of the players and wants to be an important part of the project. Hopefully everything goes well."
