There is no such clause. United didn't sell him to Juve. He left at the end of his contract.What it doesn't mention is the kickback clause whereby the rags, are in effect, paying themselves.
Just like we did with with Sturridge? No. Never happened.True his contract had expired. but as I understand it because of his age at the time he left, plus the time he had spent with the Rags, it's classed as youth development and are entitled to a percentage of his next transfer fee.
To quote Nigel Pearson are we all still ostriches in this thread or is there any perspective that them red twats are getting a great talent?
There's nothing stopping them going out spending £30m on 3 good players next summer. Pogba was available this window and they've done what it took to get him. Agree with you that he's no game changer at the moment though. Isn't averse to dropping his team mates in it either if the opportunity to showboat arises.He's a great player who will obviously improve them. However they'd improve far more, in my opinion, if they bought 3 £30m players than Pogba for the same price (in reality he'll cost far more than £89m when you factor in agents fees etc). Pogba has the same issues to his game as Yaya does, when he's on form he's awesome, however too often he's mediocre. If you're spending that kind of money you should be getting a regular game changer, someone who can be relied upon game after game after game. Pogba isn't reliable enough to justify the fee. United are still looking at Blind for centre half, and Valencia as a full back. Top quality options in those positions, with tens of millions left over to strengthen elsewhere too, is a more sensible way to go than Pogba and a big hole in their bank account.
