Paul Pogba is set to rejoin Juventus on a free transfer after his Manchester United contract expired.

It is understood the 29-year-old France midfielder will have a medical at the weekend before completing the move.

Pogba joined United from the Italian side in 2016 for a then world-record fee of £89m.

United and Pogba failed to agree on a new contract and the club confirmed at the start of June that he would leave as a free agent this summer.

It is anticipated that Pogba will begin training with Juventus next week prior to their trip to the United States, where they will face Barcelona and Real Madrid on 27 and 30 July respectively.
