Paul Pogba 'congratulates' Romelu Lukaku on Manchester United move

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba posts a clip on Instagram seemingly welcoming Romelu Lukaku to the club, as he closes in on a £75m switch from Everton.

Paul Pogba has welcomed Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United after it emerged that the striker is to join the club from Everton.

The Belgium international has been at the centre of a transfer tug-of-war between likely Premier League title rivals United and Chelsea, as both teams offered to pay the Toffees £75m.

A move to Old Trafford is expected to be sealed at some point this weekend, though, with the Red Devils confirming on Saturday morning that an agreement has already been reached with Everton.

Pogba, who has spent time with Lukaku in Los Angeles this week, posted a short clip on his personal Instagram page seemingly congratulating his friend - with whom he shares the same agent - on his imminent switch to the Theatre of Dreams.

See you tomorrow in training @rlukaku9 #bienvenue #AgentP🕵🏽

Speaking in French, Lukaku says: "It was work, we've sorted it, we've got a meeting tomorrow", before adding: "A meeting tomorrow, can you believe it?"

Pogba, who set United back a world-record sum of £89m to join from Juventus 11 months ago, adds: "See you tomorrow in training!"

Reports suggest that the initial £75m United are handing over for Lukaku could rise to £90m with various add-ons.
