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."

Naka,
Le Harve may well be annoyed, [that they either did not bother or could not match the ManU offer], but that is not the point.
There was no contract, [illegal in France for a player of that age as I understand it], only an intention to make a contract offer at some time in the future.
The next time you go to a job interview and choose the second, better offer, you might begin to smell the coffee in the kitchen.
pogba, petrucci, and the other new italian youngsters... the heat is on man utd. But the club is protected by their stupid Chief Executive David Gill who is a member of the FA. No wonder they are protected by the refrees and also can take advantage of other clubs by snatching their players. if ever there were a fair match fixing probe, man utd would have been relegated to the league 1 and be banned for any transfer activities for 3 years... BUT no, this club is no Arsenal, Liverpool or Chelsea. This is the only club who plays with 14 players on the pitch.
Clustin, stop thinking like a fool...how would you feel if other clubs came in for your youngsters. your reasoning is like that of grew up in a kitchen...
