Zidane's words aren't twisted, the interview was being translated in to English via a translator sitting next to Zidane in real time. There's a video of the interview.

I was thinking on the lines of bringing Scholes out of retirement again..................
Christ the amount of drama queens in here. I can only put this down to maybe some are youngsters and throw hissyfits when things don't go their own way?
There is NOTHING to suggest Pogba is joining Real Madrid. Nothing.

Yep. I for one would much rather be able to gloat on the internet than see United win the league.
This is a muppet meltdown unlike anything I have seen before...and we don't even know anything concrete yet...
Sky's quotes are simply wrong. From the actual Marca article using Goolge Translate gives:
http://www.marca.com/futbol/real-madrid/2016/07/27/5797ee8c46163f833e8b462e.html
"I do not know if he'll come , until 31 August can happen. Everyone interested Pogba is a great player and when you're the Madrid always want the best. But today is not Madrid player is Juventus . I can not say anything more"
The Guardian is more accurate with their translation:
https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...-madrid-interest-paul-pogba-manchester-united
Zidane said: “I don’t know if he will come. Until 31 August anything can happen. Everyone is interested in Pogba. He is a great footballer and when you are Madrid you always want the best. But now he is not a Real Madrid player, he is a Juventus player. I can’t say anything more.”
Hmmm, worrying.
It was said in jest and not to be taken seriously nor an attack on you. Calm down bro.
Same quotes on BBC. Clear sign Madrid are in the mix. As suspected.
Yeah, I think people are getting slightly ahead of themselves even most of reliable newspapers haven't confirmed the deal. All that's been said is that the deal is "close", which has little meaning as such when you think about it. 90% of thread is filled with posters that are too optimistic or too pessimistic about the deal.
So which version is more accurate?
It's very kind of you to call me a youngster, but actually I suspect it's the older and more cynical amongst us who aren't particularly assured by newspaper reports.
You may well argue that the signs favour us, but to say there's nothing just makes your post look daft, in light of ZZ's comments.
Have Real even bid for him, are there any reports that Real have even agreed a contract with Pogba?
Which quotes are on BBC? Marca or Sky's version?
Dunno if anyone's posted this yet but why are adidas trolling us eh?
Raiola said that he doesn't want Pogba at Madrid and he is clearly pushing him to United.
Wonder if we end up losing him to Madrid, will the meltdown among general United fan be more colossal than when he first left us for free?
What if Pogba wants to go to Real? Who cares what Raiola wants or thinks.
Andrew Gaffney isn't saying the translator was lying, it's how the media is twisting it now in their publications.

Fabregas, Kante and De Bruyne aren't better than Pogba.
Now I know it's not serious I realise it's really funny!
I am interested in winning the lottery, but as I haven't bought a ticket it is unlikely that I shall win.
BBC copy is same as Guardian copy.
Fosu isn't following Pogba. Stop spreading lies guys.
That is possible but there isn't anything to suggest it, similar to not being anything to suggest that he is waiting for Bayern, Barca or PSG move.
I'm looking. Pogba is about halfway down the page. Isn't it in order of last followed?
Pogba and his agent seem to be just taking the piss throughout this saga and they're just making United look like mugs now.
If pogba truly wanted to come back here to United he would've made it clear by now but his silence on this whole saga is deafening he's literally said nothing in all these weeks. Riola is the one mouthing off and doing all the pushing but all that Cnut wants is his £20 million agent fee or whatever.
Guarantee In a few years he will just turn into a snake again and this time try to engineer Pogba a move to Madrid although that's what pogba wants anyway by the looks of it. We will end up selling for a loss too because there's no way we'll get £100 mill back for him because he's not worth anywhere near that now
I'd love United to tell juve and riola to feck off and move to a different target we've already missed out on kante who would've been perfect and we could've spent the excess £70 odd million elsewhere Improving the team

Em. He is. I'm looking at his list of who he follows now.
The Sherlock Holmes brigade are hilarious - hanging on random quotes and spamming it up with complete conjecture.
Nope I don't think so.
He's following him but he has been for ages. This thread is reaching desperate levels.
Why not the others? Varane by his own account said he was fairly close to joining United but ended up going to Madrid.
And it appears we offered Spurs and Bale more money, but he also chose Madrid as soon as they waded in.
It passes the time. Until I find me another steak and chips for the steak thread. Also keeps me out of the ISIL threads.
He followed him a long time ago so it doesn't mean anything.
