He's following him but he has been for ages. This thread is reaching desperate levels.
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.”
He is. But I don't know since when.Fosu isn't following Pogba. Stop spreading lies guys.
Dunno if anyone's posted this yet but why are adidas trolling us eh?
You also haven't heard "I want to join real Madrid."
Thanks Jose. Mind giving us a heads up on who you're interested in?
Now I know it's not serious I realise it's really funny!
Nope I don't think so.
Im not Jose, nor am i a scout BUT i AM a realist. Its not my role, i know this will surprise you, to identify other targets.
If we get him its got ADM written all over it. We all admire Buyern, would they go to this level? No, course not.
My view is to concentrate on British/EPL talent - ala Buyern. As this Galactico fascination just aint working for us. We are being played, almost every time.
In all fairness I don't give a damn about Madrid.
We want to pay a World Record fee for a player, with a huge wage.
That player has to show us some sort of commitment.
I've seen a lot of commitment from Riaola, but nothing from Pogba himself.
Even Memphis (for a lower wage and transfer fee), was complimenting us before he arrived.
I don't mean you personally, I mean its foolish to dismiss any chance that RM have of signing him specially after Zidane's comments.Please elaborate in what way that makes me sound foolish.
You, along with a silly amount of others, are creating your own realities of what you think is happening with Real despite a massive amount of journalists (credible ones to boot) saying we're very close to sealing the deal.
So if it's not in order then how do you know he just followed him?
How often have players openly said they want to leave.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
We might as well accept being rubbish then.
So it's basically down to how we translate that "hoy".
The Marca translation is literal, it means "today". But "Now" / "Not yet" aren't exactly implausible interpretations.
Yeah, all of them are English and British.So DeBruyne/Lukaku/Mahrez/Hazard DDG etc etc etc are all crap. o.....k.
Not that anyone knows. It takes us months to consider preparing a bid but I'm not sure Madrid work that way. For me, they're are in with a shout. I hate to say this but I don't think he's coming back. Those sods will find the cash from somewhere. I will still get excited by every positive bit of info but I think it has gone quiet for a reasonHave Real even bid for him, are there any reports that Real have even agreed a contract with Pogba?
So we wait for other premier league clubs to buy foreign players and then if they become good we buy them? That's a ridiculous idea.So DeBruyne/Lukaku/Mahrez/Hazard DDG etc etc etc are all crap. o.....k.

@Maradona10 & @Acquire Me have been conspicuous by their absence... #PogbOFF?
I think I would be annoyed if anyone from our club was complementary about another club so i commend him for being professional. A least with DDG he kept his mouth shut throughout the process when RM came sniffing around him and so he didn't have to do any back tracking when it fell through.In all fairness I don't give a damn about Madrid.

Looked pretty positive when the lequipe story came out but everything else so far has been hot air. Can't see it happening now in all honesty.Not that anyone knows. It takes us months to consider preparing a bid but I'm not sure Madrid work that way. For me, they're are in with a shout. I hate to say this but I don't think he's coming back.

Good post. I just wish it was easier to take the top prem players from rivals.Im not Jose, nor am i a scout BUT i AM a realist. Its not my role, i know this will surprise you, to identify other targets.
If we get him its got ADM written all over it. We all admire Buyern, would they go to this level? No, course not.

Juve bought Higuaín for 80m.
He's off.
Whether he's off to us is another story.
Which will be fine. We would have hopefully won a fair bit and made our money back and some more selling him to Madrid. Don't see the downside myself.
@S.A.N.F - suppose this answers you too
I think Acquire me said he's not posting in here till it's done or something along those lines.@Maradona10 & @Acquire Me have been conspicuous by their absence... #PogbOFF?
Meanwhile, United manager Jose Mourinho was recently coy about the club's prospects of signing Pogba from Juventus. Asked if he was confident of landing his transfer target, the United boss said, according to the Daily Mail: "I don't speak about players from other clubs. He's a Juventus player. If any club wants one of my players and it speaks about him I would not be happy.
"So Paul Pogba is a Juve player and what we are trying to do we are trying to do in an honest, correct, institutional way."
United have already signed Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan this summer, and Mourinho insisted the club have other midfielder options besides Pogba. "The only thing I can say to you is we did 75 percent of our market. We established four important target profiles - not faces but profiles - and we got three of them at the very early stage of the market," he said.
"Now we have 25 percent of our market to conclude until August 31, and that player is not the only one. It's a profile we have, we have options for that profile, and we're going to get a fourth player. But maybe it's not the one you think."
