Paul Pogba one leg in United, another leg out of Manchester

Man Utd are insistent that Paul Pogba will fly to Australia with the squad for their pre-season tour, despite ongoing fears that he could leave the club this summer.

Doubts over the midfielder’s future amid interest from Real Madrid and Juventus have even seen Old Trafford chiefs draw up a shortlist of potential replacements.

But now sources at the club have made it clear that he is expected to return to Carrington this weekend before boarding the flight to Perth which leaves on Sunday.

Pogba is currently away on a commercial trip with Adidas in New York and will be one of the last Manchester United players to report back for pre-season training.
