Day number 957 of Paul Pogba to Manchester United and reports are saying that it's a done deal.
But just one thing: the deal is not done yet.
The Frenchman's return to Old Trafford is looking more and more likely by the second and, after United have reportedly had a £122m bid accepted for the midfielder - not to mention Juventus going out and spending most of it on Gonzalo Higuain already - the transfer seems imminent.
According to
beIN Sports, all that was holding the deal up was the player's agent Mino Raiola whose commission fee was said to be exceeding £20m.

It seems that the English
champions fifth-place finishers are on the brink of announcing the deal though and Paul Pogba's latest Instagram post has United fans falling over themselves.

But a colour is not an announcement.
