He is an athlete who played an enormous amount of football last season. The idea that his holiday to recuperate and recover should be cut short so that he can build chemistry with the team is silly and short-sighted.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Theres a deal in place that no announcement is to be made until this thread hits 1000 pages. I say you all go on strike because of the powers that be using you lot for their gain.
4 days camping in the new forest and I was expecting get record shirt sales etc with pogba the new face of United?
Any known reason for the holdup as I'm not going through 30 pages if can be avoided.

With United fans, he's signed shirts, posed for pics, and answered questions when asked. It's the press and pundits he's trolling with his own Instagram posts
I know you're having a laugh (and boy do we need them at the moment with the way this thing is dragging) but do you think we might actually hit the 1,000 mark before official announcement?
Nope. Nobody knows a single thing more than they did before you went camping.
Maybe they dont want it to overshadow Rooney's testimonial? If not then your guess is as good as anyone else's.
Can't tell you the number of times over the last 4 seasons I've thought how perfect of a signing he'd be, and how impossible it would be to get him back. Now that it's actually happening, I'm having trouble fully comprehending how big of a deal this is for our team.
Exactly. Its a win-win for me.
I'm disappointed with you all. I thought we'd be at page 900 by now 
It's quite a leap to get to a lack of desire from where we are right now. Officially he's still a Juventus player, and until the two clubs have come to an agreement for his transfer, that will remain the case. If, internally, the agreement has been made, it's then up to the club to arrange for the player to travel for his medical and to sign his contract. They may have decided that it's in everyone's best interests to allow him to complete his holiday. It wouldn't exactly be the best start to your new job if your new employer told you to cut your vacation short.

The thread has grown by 12 pages today which is somewhat impressive considering there have been zero actual updates, and to be fair the only update that we can get now will be an actual confirmation from the club.
If it's a done deal let him enjoy his vacation.
Muppets aren't worth to cut short the holiday, a day or two wont make a difference for juve or united.

Is he still on holiday until this Saturday? If so, the announcement may well take another week.
Even if he'd signed weeks ago, he'd still be on holiday now.
This. It's very strange. And I really don't buy all the excuses with Rooney's testimonial, stock market, adidas campaign etc.
What's funny is that if you look at the Juventuz forum(I know they're deluded) they actually get more and more open to the idea that he might actually be staying as this is dragging out.
I still think it's going to be done as there are simply too many things pointing in that direction. But I honestly don't believe they are dragging out the announcement on purpose.
There are probably still some details to be fixed.

Nothing is happening at all
It's getting a bit antsy in here. I guess this is what happens when you've been burned so many times before.
I agree he should have his holiday. But considering technically our season starts in 6 days, it would have been nice to get him in early so he could play in the Community shield game and also train together and build chemistry with team mates.
How do you know?
He knows a good few of them so it's not like starting afresh. It's not just his team mates, he knows the area too so he would settle relatively quickly. We should have a good enough squad without Pogba, to win the first few games...
He knows the ins and outs of football business
Feck his holiday! He should be back to satisfy our muppet dreams. Kidnap the cnut or something. This is doing my nut in.
This is like waiting on a new pair of expensive designer shoes that you want asap. You know they'll come it's just a matter of days.
you live a life I can only dream of. Draped in all designer.
My thoughts exactly.
Strange that BBC aren't reporting anything on this...
I knew this felt familiar!
You're damn right, I have been waiting ages for my Manolo Blahnik jewel pumps to arrive.
BBC only report Medicals and actual final deals mostly.
Mkhitaryan was done long before it announced by the club. We only knew it was done because of Dortmund's saltiness and then it was still about 4/5 days afterwards.
I'd never buy shoes off the internet personally. Too much hassle to return if they don't fit.
Sorry to crap all over your analogy
Even then they mentioned we are close to buying him in an article last week.
On holiday till the 13th August no idea
Can we not have a whip around and send the most articulate and persuasive member of the caf over to America to sort this out, get the deal over the line? i'll chip in a tenner.
Didn't Jose say he wanted things tying up on incoming transfers by the CS? He won't be happy if it drags on.
He wont play in it anyway. It makes no difference. Also he said its good to get everything done before the last two weeks because thats when everyone is busy in the market.
Has he signed for Madrid yet?
No you lost out on Gomes, De Gea and Pogba this summer.
