Manchester United’s Pogba circus to play out in Perth

10 July, 2019

Manchester United are due to touch down in Perth ahead of friendlies against Perth Glory on Saturday night and Leeds United four days later.

Pogba’s future remains up in the air, with his agent already publicly expressing the star midfielder’s wish to leave the English Premier League giants.

Juventus and Real Madrid are reported to be the teams chasing Pogba, who still has two more years remaining on his United contract.

Pogba returned to Manchester United training last Sunday following a recent trip to New York, and was officially listed in the club’s 28-man travelling party for its trips to Perth, Singapore and China.

New signings Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Daniel James are also named in the travelling squad, as well as Romelu Lukaku, who has been linked with a move to Inter Milan.

Brazilian midfielder Fred and defender Matteo Darmian will join the tour at a later date due to family reasons.
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said the pre-season tour was important preparation ahead of the August 9 start of the EPL season.

“We’ve got six weeks until the league starts, so we can’t take it easy,” Solskjaer said.

“They’ve all had their individual programs and are in good shape from day one, so we’ve put them through their paces.”
Glory will be missing a host of their best players against Manchester United.

Andy Keogh is overseas to attend his brother’s wedding, while Glory captain Diego Castro is yet to return for pre-season training.

Chris Ikonomidis (shoulder surgery) and Dino Djulbic (knee) will also miss the match.
