Man Utd will fight any FIFA action over Pogba swoop

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Fri, 09/04/2009 - 04:23

Manchester United are ready to fight any FIFA action against their summer swoop for Le Havre prospect Paul Pogba.

Chelsea have vowed to appeal against a ban on signing players for the next two transfer windows after being found guilty of improper conduct in their recruitment of Gael Kakuta from French club Lens.

Le Havre have confirmed they will ask FIFA to investigate the case of Pogba, who they claim had agreed to join them, only to walk out in favour of the Old Trafford outfit.

FIFA have so far failed to register Pogba's arrival at Old Trafford, although United insist they have done nothing wrong.

"It is complete nonsense," a spokesman for United said. "Everything has been done within UEFA guidelines."

See these comments by moronic Man U fans below??? Just as justice was served to Chelsea, Man U will be punished for their transfer sins. It's about time. Fergie's reign is ending in shame anyhow with a shambolic squad and questionable signing tactics.

The big difference being that Pogba was 16 when Man Utd made contact and signed him. Kakuto was 15. The Chelsea situation is a blatent disregard for European LAW, the Pogba deal was within the guidelines set by Fifa and Uefa.
