MANCHESTER UNITED could make up to £40million in revenue in just one year once Paul Pogba completes his world-record move from Juventus.
The Frenchman is on the verge of finalising a return to Old Trafford for a total outlay of £112m.
But Red Devils chiefs believe they could recoup over a third of that in just 12 months.
Pogba’s agent, Mino Raiola, is due 30 per cent of the sell-on fee.
One of the main hold ups of the deal is over whether it will be United or Juventus who pays it.
And the Old Trafford giants’ commercial department is reportedly working on a marketing strategy which will partner the 23-year-old with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
