Le Havre turns up heat on Man Utd over Pogba deal

Le Havre have turned up the heat on Manchester United over their deal for teenager Paul Pogba.

The Daily Mail says United gave the parents of Pogba more than £85,000 each and a house in exchange for his signature, his old club Le Havre claimed.

The deal also included the promise of £15,500-a-month for the Paris-born youngster when he turns 17 next year.

The allegations came as Le Havre called for an urgent FIFA enquiry into the inducements offered to Pogba following the decision to hit Chelsea with a transfer ban over their signing of Lens youngster Gael Kakuta.

Le Havre president Jean-Pierre Louvel said: "They tempt the parents. In the case of Paul Pogba, it was fairly simple. One hundred thousands euros for the father, one hundred thousand euros for the mother, and a house.

"France respects a certain number of rules, but English clubs do not respect anything."
