Paul Pogba is FINALLY a Manchester United player, the club has confirmed.
After weeks of speculation, football’s worst kept secret was finally made public, with the Red Devils revealing the news in only they know how.
He completed his medical on Tuesday afternoon at Manchester United’s training facility in Carrington, before sealing the deal later in the evening.
Reportedly signed for a staggering £89m (that is precisely£87.5m more than they sold him for in 2012), Pogba is now officially the most expensive footballer of all time.
To put it in perspective, Juventus will now be able to pay for the cost they endured building their new stadium.
Here is how the football world reacted to the news:
