Paul Pogba Arrives At Manchester United Training Ground For Medical

Paul Pogba has arrived at Manchester United's training ground to undergo his medical ahead of his £89m transfer from Juventus.





The 23-year-old boarded a private jet at Nice airport at around 9.15am this morning and touched down at 11.35am at the private terminal at Manchester Airport.
He was taken from there by car to the club's training ground, where his medical was due to start at 1pm.

On his arrival at Manchester airport staff there tweeted: "An important passenger has just touched down at the airport. Can anyone guess who it might be?"
Juventus confirmed on Sunday that they had given the midfielder permission to undergo his medical.

And a statement on the United website - under the hashtag 'Pogback' - read: "Paul Pogba has been granted permission to have a medical in order to finalise his transfer from Juventus to Manchester United."

Pogba has been on holiday in the United States since Euro 2016. His agent Mino Raiola has been trying to broker the deal between the Italian champions and United, with his fee for doing so one of the hurdles the clubs have had to overcome.

The 23-year-old left United for Juventus in 2012 having made just seven senior appearances in all competitions for the Premier League club, all from the bench.
Since then he has helped Juve win four Serie A titles, two Coppa Italias and reach the 2014-15 Champions League final, and was part of the France side which finished runners-up at Euro 2016.
Boss Jose Mourinho said after Sunday's Community Shield victory over Leicester: "United is the perfect club to bring him to the level he wants to be.

"The Premier League is the perfect habitat for that. If you want to be the best player in the world, if you go to Barcelona or Real Madrid you are in trouble because I don't think the other two big guys (Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo) will let you."

EC Slaps Apple With £11bn Irish Tax Bill

The European Commission (EC), as expected, has ordered the Irish government to recover up to €13 billion (£11bn) plus interest in “illegal tax benefits”. An investigation found Apple had been able to avoid taxation on almost all profits generated in the EU single market thanks to a structure which routed revenues through two “paper” headquarters in Ireland and minimal tax rates in the country. The EC says Apple only paid an effective corporate tax rate that fell from one percent in 2003 to 0.005 percent in 2014 – a rate which other companies in Ireland were not subjected to. This effectively amounted to state aid, the commission said. Apple tax amazon“Member States cannot give tax benefits to selected companies – this is illegal under EU state aid rules,” said Commissioner Margrethe Vestager, who is in charge of competition policy. “The Commission’s investigation concluded that Ireland granted illegal tax benefits to Apple, which enabled it to pay substantially less tax than ...
