Premiership Today - Football News

Manchester United have been cleared of any wrong doing over their signing of 16 year old player Paul Pogba.

French side Le Havre alleged that United were in breach of transfer regulations relating to minors, saying that they (Le Havre) had agreed a contract with the player.

However a judge appointed by football’s governing body FIFA disagreed. The judge said that, as the player was a minor, it was impossible for him to agree a contract and that, as Pogba only received nominal expenses for playing for Le Havre, he was still an amateur.

A Manchester United statement read:

“Manchester United are pleased to confirm that the Football Association has been authorised by Fifa to register Paul Pogba as a Manchester United player with immediate effect.”
