The £100m transfer of Paul Pogba to Manchester United must SURELY be over the line now.
It's been football's worst kept secret for some months now - except that whole time that Jose Mourinho was coming to United long before the club announced it.

But if club officials hoped they might be able to break the story rather than the players themselves (we're looking at you Ibrahimovic) or just some complete randomers, they had another thing coming.
First we had three woman tweeted out from a Manchester launderette pretty much announcing the signing of the French star before the club, the sponsors or the player himself.

London MC and United fan Stormzy has appeared in
another adidas video with 23-year-old French midfield maestro (after the earlier one a few weeks ago which
pretty much confirmed the deal).
The rapper dropped the video on his Facebook then quickly deleted it, not before someone could copy the clip though.
