It’s happening! Manchester United confirm that Paul Pogba *is* having a medical

Finally, something official

No hints, no cryptic messages and nothing from Mino Raiola – this is what we like to call “official confirmation.”

Not official confirmation of a deal being signed, of course, because why wouldn’t they drag out the saga for even longer?

But we finally have an actual statement from Manchester United on Paul Pogba’s move as the Red Devils confirmed on Sunday that their former and future midfielder is set to complete a medical.

Ahead of United’s Community Shield tie with Leicester, an interesting hashtag emerged on social media alongside the below succinct statement.

“Paul Pogba has been granted permission to have a medical in order to finalise his transfer from Juventus to Manchester United.”

Just imagine if he fails!
