He'll probably have his medical in some hick town in Arkansas on route 66.
It will be probably be in Manchester, not in the USA.
Though like when Di Maria was signed by PSG, the medical can be in a foreign country.

I don't expect anything in 24, 28 or 36 hours.
Di Marzio cannot and should not be giving out timetables for world record transfers. He does not work for MUFC and is not included in the meetings (between Woodward, Juventus and the lawyers) - how on Earth would he know the exact timing of the Pogba signing/unveiling?

Because a source involved in those meetings has told him?

Medicals are done in other countries all of the time, just because we don't usually conduct them that way doesn't mean things won't change.

This is a new Utd, a new dawn.

Personally I don't think it's that unrealistic. Pogba is on holiday until 6th of August and since all parties want to close the deal ASAP I think it could be true, tough.

IMO that also was the reason why Raiola went to Miami. He was expecting that the medical would take place earlier and wanted to support his client.
If he's on holiday until August 6th I can't see this being completed until then. He'll come to Manchester for his medical.

There are equally good if not better medical facilities in the USA than in Manchester. For this level of transfer we could easily send our usual doctor over there to do it, rather than waiting for Pogba to get back from holiday.

We can bring him over on a private jet for a medical then send him back on holiday, or do the medical in the US. It doesn't really make any difference where it's done, and there's no reason to wait until he's back from holiday. It'll only be a few hours out of his day.

While I really want us to sign Pogba, part of me wants Saturday to come with no news.

The meltdown will be on another level.

That's just weird. Why any Utd fan wouldn't want Pogba signed ASAP is a bit strange IMO.

Di Marzio isn't saying when Pogba will officially sign/be unveiled he just said when the deal between United and Juventus could be finalized. It was days after Dortmund announced a deal was done for Mkhitaryan before he was announced by United.

No doubt this has already been discussed to death at some point in the previous 741 pages but how come he's allowed take a holiday so close to the next season? All our Euros crew are back in training, right? What's the craic with the other Juve players who competed in the summer tournament? Are they all on holiday too?

Yes, the announcement won't me made until the Pog can fly down to Manchester. We're still potentially 10 days away for that.

Because he had like a 11 month season. He started pre-season last August and played till this July. He needs at least three weeks. None of our French players are back. I think if they had gone out earlier, then he would have come back earlier.

The Juve manager gave him and Paddy an extra week or two off as they played in the final.

May have something to do with the fact he played most of the way to the final? Martial didn't feature much and Morgan didn't play at all.

This whole medical thing stinks. Our club needs to stop being so cheap and just pay for Pogba's return ticket from US to Manchester. Embarrassing. Woody out.

Martial and Morgan are.

Maybe something to do with the Serie A starting a week later than the premier league. Don't think they've anything like the community shield either.

:confused: is he still not on holiday.
Why is the club acting cheap ?
They've been cheap from the get go. €110m for a player of Pogba's profile? We should be demanding we pay €150m minimum.

couldn't make this up. It's not even funny anymore what they are doing. Simply embarrassing.
How can Sissoko or Verratti possibly be alternatives to each other? I mean, I know Sissoko had a few good games at the Euros, but come on

RM and Barca are probably the only ones who can realistically go for Verratti, since I can see him be willing to throw a hissy fit towards PSG over joining both of them.

None of our Euros players went as far as he did, to be fair. (Well I guess they did but Martial and Morgan barely featured). I think Wenger, for instance, is giving some of his players an equally long break- Özil, Giroud, Koscielny etc.
