This will all be confirmed by Friday. Pogba will be at the Community Shield game sitting in the stands - the camera will pan to him approx 7 times during the game.

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 expect there will be Pogba cam so you can watch him all game.
Pogba has put Moyes to shame with his holidaying.
So basically:
If the agent or Pogba confirms Uniteds interest - that is a good sign
If noone says anything - that is a good sign
If someone denies - well it's not like they would go out and announce it before its done - that is a good sign
Damn - it's reassuring to be a United-fan

IMO nothing will happen before at least Wednesday.
It's quite the same situation like with Zaltan's debut last saturday. Wazza has his testimonial upcoming and neither the club nor Pogba would risk to put him to the sideline by announcing this mega transfer IF it happens.
Just to update, last night we acquired a new member called "Bananna Infused Turd Hair". Shame about the spelling mistake, but there you go, that's muppetry for you.
would juve care though?
Pogba's holiday ends on the 6th right?
True, but I really doubt Juventus care about Rooney's big day.. They'll probably announce it before United do.
That's in reference to the other newb quote right?
I think Juve is ok with any delay as this allows them to wrap up their deals quietly. So why should they push for an announcement, thus, risking to get milked by clubs, agents and players of potential replacements.
Don't think they are in a hurry - they have plenty of time before their season starts.
Yes, just to prove that people are reading this thread.
I thought this but Skysports said he's preparing to fly to England?
I don't think we are holding off from announcing the deal just to prevent Pogba from stealing Rooney's "thunder". There genuinely must be a lot of paperwork and it is just taking time to get it done.
It would have been some coincidence if it wasn't, one would have thought.
It could be his creepy twin.
Nah he would have to drag it out another few weeks to beat Moyesy.
Skysports also said we hadn't agreed anything so clearly they're talking shite.
It's like Alan partridge when his boss is going to sign him a second series, and he has heart attack just before he signs !!!!! Aaarrrrggghhh bleeding sign already Paul !!
Until he's signed, there is always the pessimist in me yelling "it's not happening"
Until he's signed, there is always the pessimist in me yelling "it's not happening"
I'm not sure what to make of this "paperwork and signing take time" argument.
I think there is nothing agreed and that negotiations are still ongoing and this paperwork argument is used by DiMarzio etc. to buy some time. So that they could position themselves as "we said it was only paperwork left so we were first to announce it as done".
So basically:
If the agent or Pogba confirms Uniteds interest - that is a good sign
If noone says anything - that is a good sign

Basically this. I think everyone is so convinced that this is happening that he could be standing next to Zidane with his new Madrid shirt in one hand and a contract in the other, and it'd just be one of his funny japes. I will believe it when there's something concrete rather than a journalist says he's signing followed by nothing happening again.
I wonder if mentioning Madrid upset anyone?
I would have said promote him straight away but not with the spelling error. Do. Not. Want.
It's funny how people live by this day to day going mad when there's no update. In all probability they probably had a phone conversation a week ago and Pogba said 'yeah sure Jose, I'll come down to Carrington when I'm back on the 6th' and United were like 'okay cool, see you in a week'.
The notion that every day something needs to happen, that every day of his holiday United are speaking to him saying 'why haven't you signed yet' or that we're cancelling his holiday and arranging medicals in other countries is just absurd. Chill out, he's on fecking holiday. When he comes back it will be down to business whether he goes to us or Madrid.
All this 'no update yet, I've got a bad feeling about this' what the feck do you expect to have happened?

I'm thinking its more on the lines of the Mkhitaryan deal. Though a deal in general has been agreed by all parties, it hasn't been officially signed yet. Dortmund announced it early but Juventus might not be in such a hurry. It's upto us to get the medical done and finally announce it.
Agree with the rest of your post. But I think everything else has been decided and he IS coming to United. Let's leave Madrid out of this.
Bloody hell, I'm sure Ian Holloway just said 'Sir Alex Ferguson said Pogba walked around like he owned the place' and that 'Man Utd didn't pay that for Keane', despite him being the British transfer record at the time...? Sky Sports really is shite right now. They're comparing Lacazette's stats to Theo Walcott at the minute.
Presumably they can't afford to go out on a limb quite like individual journo's such as Di Marzio can.
Andy Burton is pictured with Pogba in Vegas however, so likely he got decent info behind the flight schedule during his chat.
Has anyone mentioned that Juventus have updated their website?
They've removed the picture of Pogba wearing the away kit and replaced it with Pjanic.

I think if his holiday is till 6th August, I don't see anything concrete happening this week.
He will turn up in Europe next Monday (8th August).

In media parlance, "preparing to do <insert muppety thing here>" means that they don't really know what's going on but it's the most likely next development, and as they don't need any proof of said preparation they can print it with impunity.
They may as well compare my stats to Lacazette.Sky Sports really is shite right now. They're comparing Lacazette's stats to Theo Walcott at the minute.
It would be as relevant.
I'm with you on this. The only thing holding this deal up is the fact he's on holiday. Plus, there's going to be a huge promotional assault from the likes of Adidas and this is giving them time to put something together.
In the official Juventus Online Store Pogba is very much there on the front page in their blue kit.
He's still there on the right of the page.

Very concrete. Sounds pretty much done.
Exactly, no point obsessing over Pogba this week. If its meant to happen it will happen sometime next week. At this point he, his agent & Adidas are just milking the attention on social media.
Is it just me or is Pogba on the longest footballer holiday I've ever seen?
Does anyone know of anyone else who played the Euros that is still not back in training?

Prominent French and Portugese players are still on holiday since they went all the way to the final.
Evra was also with Pogba in Vegas. Schneiderlin is back with us, probably because he didn't kick a ball at the Euro.
