Paul Pogba has been keeping up his fitness in New York as uncertainty continues to surround his future.

Manchester United are reportedly ready to pay a world-record fee to bring Pogba back to the club from Juventus this summer.

The 23-year-old France midfielder has been on holiday in the United States following his involvement in Euro 2016, and a video posted on his Instagram account late on Tuesday showed him doing a Muay Thai workout, aiming kicks and punches at the pads of a trainer.

An accompanying message read: “Afternoon sweat #newyork #combat #muaythai”

Reports have suggested a move to United for around £100million could be sealed in the next few days, although another video to have emerged seems to have added some doubt to the situation.

In footage from YouTube channel ItalianFootballTV, Pogba appears to say “yes” when he is asked, as he signs a football outside a New York hotel, if he is staying at Juve.

That comes after Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola last Friday tweeted: “Journalist = parrots. No deal done between clubs. It’s a game between Italy press and UK press who announce it first and who is worse.”

United declined to comment on Pogba when contacted on Wednesday morning.
