La Gazzetta dello Sport have reported that the transfer saga of the summer is nearly over, with Pogba arriving in Manchester on Saturday evening.

A deal has been in the pipeline for weeks but has been hit by a number of snags, including a reported £25m fee for his agent Mino Raiola.

Pogba has visited Miami, Los Angeles and New York on his stateside tour after enduring Euro 2016 heartbreak with France, when the hosts lost to the unfancied Portugal in the final in Paris.
