Can't see him being ready to seriously contribute until early September at best maybe? Some vacation he is having...

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.
Some of our players have less than 8 days of training and they will probably start on Sunday.
That's true, on the other hand despite his impressive build sometimes he acts like a wimp compared to Keane and Vieira. Pogba isn't always willing to put his body on the line and he can be thrown to the ground quite easily but he has the merit of not staying on the ground.
Yeah, agreed. But as you said we are long way off from reaching the point where it matters in our transfer business, as opposed to the situation at City.
Ronaldo is also still on vacation so it is not excessive. His vacation planning would have been aligned to the euros and Juve start of the season, not to a possible transfer to us. He has had a very long season, he will have a very long season ahead of him, he needs a decent break to relax and recharge his battery.
We will have more use of Pogba if he is fully rested both physically and mentally than one that is rushed in the team. Especially in England, with 2 cup competitions, next to the league and the EL and no winter break it will be a very long and demanding season. He should be fully rested before starting it.
Nobody else think it's weird that despite all the speculation there still hasn't been anything official?
I did get the holiday factor, but surely with that ending tomorrow, you would have thought we would be saying something.

way too much, that is all should know but it is ok because we have plenty and are earning it faster than we can spend it, so it is all good.
I love the way many posters in here loosely interpret clear rules and guidelines re 'home-grown' status in whatever way they please. 
I wonder what they're like when they get caught doing 85mph on the motorway - "Well, the speed limit is an arbitrary rule, isn't it?
What does 'speed' really mean anyway?"

Apparently this contract is more complex than the TPP trade agreement, so its natural that it will take time to complete. Have some patience.
Theymight aswell call the club Dithering United. It always takes like forever till we get some official communication. Look at Zlatan, Dortmund had confirmed it, Zlatan had confirmed it, the whole world know already a long time ago but still took the club a long time untill they made it official. I don't know what it up with that but the speed with which we announce things has been bothering me for years.
The biggest clue will be to see if Pogba joins Juve on their pre season or not. If he doesn't he is 100% coming.
It's not up to you to decide what we can talk about you maniac.
It doesn't matter anyway, United should be okay in terms of homegrown players (I think it's more noticeable in Europe, which isn't the priority right now.)

I only respond to the metric system, so that rule is definitely arbitrary and non-binding.
erm....
So next week then. After he gets back from holiday?
Now, you know why Raiola threw chairs when Dortmund refused to sell Zlatan.
We're not making an announcement today.
BOSS ON SUMMER SIGNINGS
"We got a young central defender that needs time to be a top one, but he has top potential and we believe a lot in him. We brought Micki here, a player that we know the quality he has. We got a super striker [in Zlatan] and we are going to get a very good midfield player, so I am happy with the balance of my squad, I’m happy with the effort that the club has, and is still putting in for us."

'48 hours' again...but this time from the boss. I'll take it!
It's pretty much confirmed then. We're signing Paul fecking Pogba. My only worry is who will partner him, nobody aside from a 35 year old Carrick is standing out. I personally think we should cut Herrera loose and bring in someone else.
With Schweinsteiger apparently on his way out, why would you cut Herrera loose as well. What do you know about our current midfielders that Mourinho doesn't ?
"We are going to get a very good midfield player"
It's done.
It's done.
Unofficially confirmed now, Pogba is a red!
Mourinho's comments should put any remaining doubts to rest. Expect this to be wrapped up by Monday.
He's flattered to deceive so far but was very good against Everton and seems to be part of Mourinho's plans.
"You are right I don't like to speak about other clubs," he added. "I don't like to speak about players from other clubs, other managers like to do that, they like to speak about my club and my players, I'm very pragmatic on this.
"The only thing that matters for me is what's happening in my house, not my neighbours's. Pogba is a Juventus player and until officially he isn't, we stay like this."

So Mourinho has all but confirmed Pogba will sign for us, i expect this will be announced on Monday.
POGBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
POGBA IS COMING HOME!!!!
We are going to sign a very good midfielder, if he doesn't sign Pogba now then surely Mourinho is the king of trolling. Imagine we will now end up signing Matuidi or Lassana Diarra
No, because i actually want to know when something happens. I see 50 new pages since i last checked and presume something may have happened. I then find 50 pages of attention seeking drivel with a sole purpose of making '1000 pages ' as if that is interesting or important.
The thread is to discuss the pogba transfer. That's been done ad infinitum, there is nothing more to discuss until something emerges. The mods can lock the thread and post when news occurrs.
Encouraging quotes. Monday then I take it?
Stop it lads, he's obviously talking about Matuidi.
I think monday or tuesday seems the safest bet.
These things usually don't get announced in the weekend do they ?
There would be no point in him going back to Turin to train individually or with the youth team if he's going to be sold.
I think Juventus will announce he is leaving before/on Sunday
Now the only surprise would be if the big signing is, for some reason, not Pogba... but at that point, that's no more an option, isn't it? Isn't it? 
Did he say 48 hours? I thought he said in the next few days which lines up with what he said before that we will sign the fourth player before the season starts.
The new bit is confirmation that it is a very good midfielder and his statement on Pogba is much more positive.
