MANCHESTER UNITED are ready to sign Paul Pogba for a staggering £112million.
The Frenchman will become the most expensive player in football history.
But what exactly will the Red Devils be getting?

The haircuts
POGBA loves to play around with his hair.
His favourite style is the Mohawk with a blonde tint. But his hairdresser, who flies in from Paris, is very creative.
Pogba has had leopard-print and a Pokemon design.
He once had the Batman logo shaved on to his head – and also the word Pogboom.
Confused? Don’t ask us. So are we!
The clothes
YOU only have to look at the snazzy gold and black dinner jacket he wore to the 2015 Ballon D’Or Awards — complete with bow tie and glasses.
He often wears three-quarter length combats and weaved loafers.
Pogba also has a thing for trainers, the most spectacular being the customised ones with his face on them.
The friends
HE is close to Chelsea winger Juan Cuadrado, and posted a video of the pair performing a “dancing handshake”.
He is also pally with the Everton and Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku. Wonder who buys the drinks in that group? Pogba’s sporting hero is NBA star LeBron James, whose Cleveland Cavalier kit he wore in Miami recently.
The cars
POGBA is a proper petrolhead.
He’s had several amazing rides in his life. His current favourite is a black £100,000 Maserati GranTurismo.
But his taste is not to everyone’s liking — a few weeks ago he was spotted leaving a West Hollywood bar …in a pink Rolls-Royce!

Social media
POGBA is well liked, well followed and very influential on social media.
He currently has a whopping 2.16million Twitter followers (yet he follows only 11 accounts) and 6.2m followers on Instagram.
On Facebook he has 4.6m likes.
Imagine how the figures will soar when he arrives at Old Trafford.
Personal assistant
ON the field, the 23-year-old has proved to be the key provider in Italy’s Serie A — assisting more goals than any other Juventus player since his debut back in 2012.
The French Euro star also recorded more assists than any other player in Serie A last season with 12. Now that’s impressive!
League of his own
SINCE he joined Juventus in 2012 he has been in a title-winning side in the last four successive seasons.
The lowest he has finished in his club career was second at — you guessed it — Manchester United back in the 2011-12 season — and he played only three games in that campaign.
Brothers in arms
THE youngest of three boys, his twin brothers Florentin and Mathias — who are 2½-years older than him — also play football.
Mathias has turned out for Wrexham, Crewe, Crawley and is currently on the books at Partick Thistle. Florentin made his mark playing for Saint-Etienne and Sedan.
Teen scene
AS a 16-year old, Pogba was so fixated on becoming the best and ensuring his body does not suffer from breakdowns, he hired a personal physiotherapist who would treat him after every game — and also during mid-season and pre-season.
He also hired a dietician to ensure he was getting the right nutrition.
Passing compliments
DURING Euro 2016, only two players made more passes than the Frenchman — Germans Jerome Boateng (468) and Toni Kroos (642). Pog hit a total of 445 passes.
He was also third in terms of most completed passes on 393.
A touch of class
YOU can expect Pogba to be a key player in EVERY Manchester United game.
In the last four campaigns, he averages 64 touches in every match he has played — and that works out as an average of one every 83 seconds.
He has made 8,076 touches in 127 league appearances for Juventus in his four seasons in Serie A.
