Signing of Paul Pogba by Man Utd under FIFA investigation

Thursday, 11 May 2017 07:00

The signing of Paul Pogba by Manchester United last year is the subject of a FIFA investigation.

The investigation into the world-record transfer from Juventus to the Red Devils is to seek clarification on who was involved in the £89.3m transfer, and how much money was paid to them.

Pogba, 24, is in his second spell at Old Trafford, having left the club for Juventus for £1.5m in 2012.

The France midfielder first joined United from French side Le Havre in 2009.

This investigation comes after Newcastle United and West Ham United were raided by HMRC officials a fortnight ago to investigate potential cases of fraud.
