France midfielder Paul Pogba’s transfer to Manchester United moved a step nearer on Sunday as Juventus granted him permission to undergo a medical.
“Yes Pogba has been authorised to undergo a medical at Manchester,” a club spokesman said.
The 23-year-old — who left United for virtually nothing four years ago — is not with the Juventus squad in London for a friendly with West Ham on Sunday.
Media reports said he had already arrived in Manchester.
