FIFA Clears Manchester United Over Pogba Deal, Juventus Under Investigation

FIFA Clears Manchester United Over Pogba Deal, Juventus Under Investigation

FIFA has cleared Manchester United of any
wrongdoing over Paul Pogba's transfer, but
will investigate Juventus.

In May, the world football governing body
asked both clubs for clarification on all aspects of Pogba's £89.3million move to Old Trafford last summer.

It came after reports that the player's agent, Mino Raiola, will earn more than £41million from the deal.

FIFA has now confirmed United will face no
further action. It is, however, understood that
Raiola's agreement with the Serie A side, could have breached third-party ownership rules.

"We can confirm that disciplinary proceedings
have been opened against Juventus FC. We
cannot comment further as proceedings are
ongoing. We can confirm that no disciplinary
proceedings have been opened against
Manchester United," a FIFA spokesman said
on Tuesday.

If they are found guilty, the Seria champions
could be hit with a punishment; possibilities
range from a fine to a transfer ban.
