Manchester United fans have been eager to know the future plans of Juventus star player Paul Pogba.
The 23-year-old midfielder has been linked with a move back to Old Trafford for months, with the Red Devils reportedly ready to offer £100 million to the Italian champions and wages of £11.1 million per season to Pogba.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid dropped out of the race for Pogba, with president Florentino Perez unwilling to put £100 million and the same wage offer on the table, which seemed to open up the door for the Red Devils to land the 23-year-old France international.
Recently, Gonzalo Higuain reportedly agreed personal terms with the Old Lady, who now have to convince Napoli to sell their star man. Higuain has a £78.4m release clause in his contract and Juve are willing to add a set of players in order to satisfy Napoli’s needs.
Meanwhile, Manchester United fans believed Juventus are already spending the money they will receive from a Paul Pogba sale…to the Red Devils. Which isn’t the case, as the Serie A giants have enough financial power to fund a move without selling their star midfielder.
Things got even worse when a couple of Juve fans decided to invent some random journalist names in order to tweet fictitious stories about Pogba joining United.
