Man Utd management have no idea if Pogba will make Australia trip

Manchester United management have no idea if Paul Pogba will commit himself to their jaunt to Australia.

The Mirror says United officials admitted on Saturday night they don't know where their ­£150million star is – and senior ­officials are sweating on whether the French World Cup ­winner will join up with the rest of Ole Gunnar ­Solskjaer's stars for the four-game, 18-day trip to Australia, Singapore and China.

United insist he's scheduled to ­return on Sunday to travel out to Perth – but they haven't spoken to the 26-year-old star since the end of the season.

While most of United's ­players came back for fitness tests last week, the midfield star was given extra time off by Solskjaer after playing Euro 2020 qualifiers for France against Andorra and Turkey last month.

And the club's top brass believe agent Mino Raiola's transfer bombshell that Pogba wants to leave Old Trafford could be the opening salvo in a protracted transfer war.

The star was in New York last week for an adidas promotion.
