Man Utd were linked with a sensational move for Paul Pogba but he is reportedly set to join a club legend in the MLS.
Paul Pogba has reportedly agreed to join Manchester United legend David Beckham at Major League Soccer club Inter Miami following his return to professional football. The French midfielder is free to play professional football once again after his 18-month ban officially came to an end earlier in the month.
Lionel Messi ‘pushes’ for Paul Pogba move
A report from notorious transfer outlet Fichajes claim negotiations between Pogba and Inter Miami have progressed in recent days and that an official announcement is now expected in the coming weeks.
It has even been reported that Miami forward Lionel Messi has personally urged the club hierarchy to sign the midfielder to further strengthen a star-studded squad that already includes Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba.
Inter Miami have started the MLS season strong with three wins and one draw from their opening four matches. A reported move for Pogba is also strengthened by the fact the Frenchman has been spending time in Miami while he contemplates a return to football
In a recent Instagram video post, Pogba said: “So we’re here in Miami, training, trying to get fit as soon as possible. You already know the story.”
United are another club that could technically sign Pogba as a free agent before the end of the season, though it is a suggestion that has already been shot down by head coach Ruben Amorim.
Speaking back in February, Amorim was quizzed on the possibility of a free agent signing and whether United had considered any amid the lack of senior options.
“No, no. It’s not an idea we have. We have young players and we’re working with them and we have to really focus on that as a club. When you have these moments of a lot of injuries you should use young players if not you don’t have space for them to improve and show themselves..
We need to focus in future on youth because of the history of our club and the reality of our situation.”
