A day on from United announcing the France midfielder had been granted permission to have the medical in order finalise the much-anticipated deal, Pogba entered the Aon Training Complex in Carrington in a red and black Chevrolet at around 12.15pm.
His arrival in the country had been signalled around half an hour earlier by a tweet from Manchester Airport.
World record transfer
Press Association Sport understands a fee of 105million euros (£89million) has been agreed, a figure that beats the estimated £85million that Real Madrid paid Tottenham for Gareth Bale in 2013 in what is the current world record transfer.
It is expected, if all goes well with the medical, that an official announcement that Pogba is once again a United player will follow on either today or tomorrow.
