MANCHESTER, England (AP) " Paul Pogba is close to joining Manchester United from Juventus for what is expected to be a world-record transfer fee. The France midfielder has been given permission by Juventus to have a medical examination to complete his return to Old Trafford, United said Sunday. Defender Eric Bailly, midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan and striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic have already moved to Old Trafford this offseason. The then-United manager Alex Ferguson accused Pogba of not showing United "any respect" and insisted he was happy to let Pogba leave. Pogba left United to join Juventus in 2012, reportedly for 800,000 pounds (now $1.05 million) in compensation.
