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.
I guess they are playing against Westham in their new stadium.
Since Juventus is expecting him back at Vinovo on the 7th we could definitely assume that him flying to the UK would mean he leaves Juventus. I'm still not a 100% sure that he'll sign tbh but him heading to the UK rather than Italy would clearly indicate that he'd not do so to join his Juventus mates.
However, as our squad and management team will be in London this day I could clearly see us announcing him there and then.
If you're not 100% you must be 99.9% at this point?
You mean the one the taxpayers paid for?
What on earth is this based on
I would say I can feel it's close, but then I put money on LVG being the next manager to be sacked last Christmas and look how that worked out.
I can't see it being any later than the community sheild after the latest Italian reports.

Actually I don't know what to make out of this media stuff etc.
For a fact we know that there're negotiations (as clearly indicated by Mou, Moratta, Allegri, Raiola) but whether they've been/will be successful is on a different note. So I'll believe that this is done the moment he is posing with the shirt and has had a quick chat with MUTV.
But tbf the signs are looking good.
I just couldn't imagine rationally not believing this was done. If all this had been for him signing for any other team, everyone would accept it's done, and yet because its us people seem to remain that little bit more sceptical. Fear of looking an idiot maybe or being burnt once again by a muppet saga I presume.
Today's the day isn't it?
Pogba expected back for Juventus training Sunday/Monday so it should be wrapped up before.
Also it's kind of unlikely for us/Juve to announce anything on the weekend.
Balance of probability my dear Watson... The game is on!

Guessing today we'll get an announcement of some sort that it is done pending medical. Either from United or Juve.
We've been saying that every day for the past week but I can really see it happening today to be honest.
Definitely this. Half the threads in our forum will become redundant if this move fails since most discussions already have Pogba in our team.
We're not any other team though. We are Man United and are liable to getting played, hitches, tougher negotiations etc. We've lost out on so many sagas I probably couldn't even name them all (vidal pedro sneijder ramos moura thiago.. I'm prob forgetting the most obvious one too)
I'm not saying I don't think it's effectively done, but I can definitely understand the "it's only done when it's done" mentality
Jose's press conference at 2pm. Wonder if they will be allowed to ask him about Pogba?
See if Jose can make it a hattrick of "i don't speak about Paul because he is a juventus player and i wouldn't like if other managers spoke about my players. But the window shuts August 31 and for sure we will have one more player"
If not Friday, then Monday I think.
Hopefully hear something today though

Bet you we will get the "Paul is a juve player' response again
He's read the papers that said he wanted Madrid first, Barca second, City third and then us because nobody else could pay the moneyWhat on earth is this based on

Which is all pretty trite at this point. I get the not unsettling players thing in normal circumstances, when they are otherwise committed to a different club... But everybody knows he's as good as ours, it's hardly like we're trying to unsettle him at this stage!
Aye probably.
I just don't think we're unique to getting burnt. If we really looked at other teams past summers, they've probably had just as many sagas on their different forums much like our threads. But we just don't invest the time into what other teams are doing to know about them.
When was the last confirmed sighting, btw?
Surely he'll be leaving NYC soon, how much is there to do there?

What do you think has been the biggest myth in this thread?
- That transfers are never announced on weekends?
- That Di Marzio said the deal will be announced within 48 hours?
- That Pogba has been on holiday for at least double the time of every other player, who played at the Euros?

Yes, or in fact follow the "Transfer Tweets" section on here. Or just look at the thread marks on this site if you're only interested in Pogba.
Di Marzio saying that the deal will be announced in 48hrs. Lets be honest know one has a clue when this will be announced and journo's keeping spitting out bull shit.
Today is the day he will fly back from his vacation, well as in today is his last day so he'll be back in Europe tomorrow, maybe late tomorrow. So Sunday/Monday seems the most logical conclusion for when he'll be holding up the United shirt.
Di Marzio is 4 out of 4 with us (Jose, Ibra, Mkhi and Pogba) so to say he spouts BS, is BS.
Pogba is obviously not keen to play for us his due to his lack of willingness to cut his holiday short.
He never said it would be announced, that's the point. He said it would be done, and by the looks of things it was done in those 48 hours.
He's read the papers that said he wanted Madrid first, Barca second, City third and then us because nobody else could pay the money
Still, he has his reasons to want to play for us. 13 million to be precise.
- Real Madrid
- 3 world class players for the same money.
You're right. I definitely missed some (a lot, I'm sure!) it really has been a roller coaster ride.
Give me strength....
Free Pogba from the ball and chains we have put him in!!
That's what people fail to understand, he was right, it was widely reported it was done in that time frame and everything there on was pure admin and logistics.
Was it? Because weren't they also saying as recently as yesterday that there were still details to sort out on the deal?
Is it a myth or not?
I've seen loads of chat about players who didn't play much, but no facts on where other players who were involved all the way through are right now. I believe all of these played in all 7 matches:
Hugo Lloris
Bacary Sagna
Laurent Koscielny
Patrice Evra
Blaise Matuidi
Antoine Griezmann
Dimitri Payet
Rui Patricio
Joao Mario
Cristiano Ronaldo
Nani
Ricardo Quaresma
I don't think him being expected back to Juve training will have any impact on when it's announced. If all the admin contractual bullshit isn't done before then he just won't return.
