Paul Pogba's agent, Mino Raiola, took to social media to give an update on the Juventus superstar's expected move to Manchester United on Friday, revealing the two clubs have yet to agree to terms on the protracted transfer.

Raiola outlined the state of play as United fans waited for confirmation of the midfielder's return to Old Trafford after four years in Turin.

United's kit manufacturer, Adidas, fanned the flames regarding Pogba's move to the Red Devils on Thursday, releasing a video featuring the France international and the United club badge on a billboard that included UK grime artist Stormzy in a Red Devils tracksuit top outside Old Trafford.

The cryptic message of the video initially confused football fans, who were searching for clues:

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp added his opinion to the debate surrounding Pogba's expected world-record transfer back to M16.

Samuel Luckhurst and Rob Pollard of the Manchester Evening News quoted the German discussing the potential £100 million fee.

Klopp questioned the wisdom of spending such a gigantic sum on one player and insisted he will use a different transfer strategy at Anfield:

"

If you bring one player in for £100 million and he gets injured, then it all goes through the chimney.

The day that this is football, I’m not in a job anymore, because the game is about playing together.

That is how everybody in football understands it. You always want to have the best, but building the group is necessary to be successful.

Other clubs can go out and spend more money and collect top players.

I want to do it differently. I would even do it differently if I could spend that money.

"

As Raiola stated, a number of media outlets and journalists have tried to provide information about the deal, which appears to be crawling toward completion.

ESPN FC's Miguel Delaney shared his knowledge of the transfer via social media:

United legend Rio Ferdinand added his voice to the argument surrounding Pogba's potential return to the Theatre of Dreams, and the former England captain told Copa90 the Frenchman is destined to become the best midfielder in the world and will emerge as the Red Devils' leader on the pitch and that he "will kickstart a new generation of football at Manchester United:"

The transfer saga continues to drag on, torturing both United and Juve supporters as they desperately seek to find out what happens next.

Ferdinand watched the development of Pogba close up when the Frenchman rose from the youth ranks to the cusp of Sir Alex Ferguson's first team in the north-west.

United are desperate to find a player who can carry the burden in the centre of the pitch and allow the team's illustrious front line to score the goals needed to fight for the Premier League title.

Pogba is not the finished article, but he could be the heir apparent to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in relation to discussions about the world's best player in the years to come.

The 23-year-old France ace is different to both of the world's top two talents, but his skill set is desperately needed by United at this point of their illustrious history.
