Not necessarily. I imagine a transfer of this magnitude will take ages to negotiate. If we're going to get him I think it'll be towards the end of the month.
So just dropping in to give my 2 cents after last nights results.
We wont be signing him, simple as. Im really sorry but as Guilliem says, Madrid will not allow a free run at him. They have a week to sell off Kroos/James/Verane/Morata. According to reports James is close to PSG, Morata is close to Chelsea, Verane could be sold to Bayern and Kroos could be on Cities wishlist. Not all completely out of the question and entirely plausible. Between them they could raise around the 120m needed (assuming they go for 40m each) that would be an incredible bit of business to complete within a week and unlikely to be all completed by then BUT. Say France go out tonight, I can see Pogba wanting a couple of weeks to weigh up his options and see what the major players do and this would work against us majorly.
We now have a window of perhaps a week tops to get our business in order, things are moving fast, last night the confirmation of Mkhitaryan showed a bit of urgency on our part (from Jose) now we will see how much of an impact he truly has. I think we need to go in with an official offer before Saturday of 120m and nothing less. We need to force Juves hand now and its essential we do it before Madrid get their house in order.
All in all, I see none of this happening, Pogba will have personal terms agreed with pretty much every large club interested. The reports of Madrid baulking at his wage demands are just early negotiation tactics and usually these fees reported are way way too inflated.
Believe me I want this to happen, more than any other transfer but if something seems too good to be true, it usually is.
Off to Madrid in a months time after several reports of us haggling with Juve.

Idiotic replies to that tweet regarding SAF, some people on Twitter are imbeciles.
Also, a post from piotrr on Juventuz might interest some people, not sure if it's been posted here or the interview with Pogba is legit.
Yeah I'm shit at maths. 6 years whatever.
You come here every day to say the exact same thing. We get it, we're not signing him. You've made that clear plenty of times.
Im desperate to be proven wrong.
Its going to be a long week or two
Really annoy me with those Juve fans on that messageboard calling us deluded for thinking Pogba would come here. Juve is a big club with a nice history which I respect, but they need two face two realities:
- The PL will always be a bigger attraction than Serie-A. In fact Serie A is also behind Spain and Germany
- Manchester United will always be a bigger club than Juventus
There, have that dose of reality with your next portion of pasta.

Jeez-a-loo!
It's a natural defence mechanism to be overly negative and convince ourselves something won't happen so we're not as disappointed if it doesn't. It's the hope that kills.
The part about Madrid selling 4 players in the form of James, Kroos, Varane and Moratta just to replace them with Pogba is hilarious though
Yeah, he also called Van Persie and Welbeck's new contract before they broke and said that Schlupp was being signed from Leicester- he was incorrect as it was only a trial but shows that someone within the club said it to him before it was public knowledge
I wouldn't get too excited. Riola probably leaked the details to make Madrid aware of where they need to be if they want to play ball.
King Jonno should know a thing or two, having been a staunch United fan since Bastille Day in 1789.
Stop being so thick to think it was all his fault for leaving and we didnt do anything. Think of it from his POV and not from a fan of United's POV.
We've got him in our pocket this summer, he's clearly working for us, and we will make it worth his while.
Im pretty sure we can offer both him and his client more money than Madrid want to. We are more desperate for him.
Brilliant, try and get it wrapped up before Madrid cough up the money.
Absolutely, I was around and not posting for the "Ronaldo pics at Manch airport", "Vidal in tears on the team bus", "Bayern reject 100m for Mulluer", "Moyes says no to Thiago", "LVG says no to Kroos" sagas all on here.
I simply refuse to be dragged in, they all had similar accounts of it being "done" "all but done" "fee agreed" "Personal terms agreed" "Followed X X X on tWITTER/iNSTA" its all the same and I see no difference between them and this, except one difference. Jose Mourinho. The Hope.
Three posts gone, back to lurking!
This has nothing to do with the transfer other than it includes Pogba but damn that made me smile. I think I want Paddy back more than Pogba tbh.
Whats the deal with him again? What did he get right?
I know he supposedly was/is close with the youth batch at the time Pogba was here, but has there ever been any proof of that or anything that he's got right because of it?
I dont think at this point we are in a situation where we should be looking to eagerly at how much we paying for such a young and talented player. There is no such a powerful skilful CM around, we need to come back to challenging title again therefore by any means we shall catch the good wagon. And lets face it the price tag will be there for some month until he start showing his class (cf Martial)
While I would love to sign him and I think our interest is real but sadly I don't see him coming to United. He would go to Real Madrid I think - the current links is just part of posturing by Pogba's representatives to threaten Real Madrid. Just my feeling though - could be wrong.
Here it is:
piotrr @ juventuz said:Guys my close friend is from France and they were showing Pogba on TV today.
The journalist asked him if he's happy in Juventus and if his French fans will watch him in black&white next year again. He replied: "I am very happy in Juve. I want to stay but that's up to the club. The financial situation in Italian football is very bad. I want to stay, I do, but if I were to leave I will do it only for an important club in one of the top 2 leagues in the world.
Then the journalist said: "Barca or Real?" Pogba replies: "Both are big clubs". Journalist: "United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City?". Pogba: "Only one of them is a historically big club." and he smiled. PSG? "I said only Juve or top 2 leagues".
Bad news for us and good news for the United fans browsing this thread
He seems fairly confident.
I know for a fact he's close with that batch, he's a friend of a friend, and he's a total bellend.
Sky: "we've read on twitter that talks have begun"
Good old sky sources

Is there any reason Juve would sell? They are a huge club, I can't imagine they're desperate for cash. If we wanted to keep a player we could afford to reject any offer for them no matter how crazy.
Ugh, not this moron again.
I'm glad sky are being slower this year, it means there's more chance what they're saying is accurate, even if the news seems late.
But as Drainy said... he's could be trying to get a few people betting on Pogba to United and laying on Pogba to Real/Stay at Juve when the odds shift.
Its more like they follow him on Twitter and then change the title to whatever he posts and say it they heard from their "source".
Could say the same about us selling Ronaldo or De Gea.
Some would have said keep Ronaldo until his contract runs out, but we sold him
