Will Paul Pogba just please put us all out of our misery.
His on/off/on/off move to Manchester United is, well, on and off every two minutes.
The British and Italian media are being led a merry dance the Juventus star and his agent Mino Raiola.
Whenever they report that Pogba’s United return is imminent or signed and sealed it seems there’s another twist, turn or snag.
The Twitter and Instagram accounts of the French star and Raiola seem to be the only sources of information on the on-going saga – if you can call it information.
The former United man seems to be taking great enjoyment from stringing everyone along – dropping hints, cryptic posts and even featuring in a devilishly ambiguous adidas video.
Surely he’s signing though, right? Surely. Just this morning newspapers are saying the £110 deal is done.
If he wasn’t, why the hell would he be out in the US autographing a shirt for a United fan?
Yes Pogba posed for a photograph with a United supporter who was celebrating his 18th birthday – and then signed his shirt, which had ‘Pogba 6’ on the back, which the media reckons will be his new squad number.

But if that wasn’t enough of a tease, the 23-year-old midfield maestro was back mocking the world yet again within a couple of hours of this photo being taken.
He just couldn’t help having yet more fun leading the world’s media on another merry dance with a couple more Instagram posts – either that or he’s just building up the hype.

The caption reads “We catch Pogba with his contract in Universal Studios LA amusement park.”
He continued having a cheeky pop at the media by adding another image with a ‘breaking news’ caption saying he was undergoing a medical at the theme park. The rascal.

It comes after newspapers said his Old Trafford deal was all-but signed and sealed on Friday. But his agent cam out on Twitter saying no deal had been made and called journalists ‘parrots’ in an angry tweet.
Still no news and still Pogba takes the piss. Just sign the bloody contract mate.
