Unlike his compatriot Antoine Griezmann, Pogba did show up to his side's pre-season preparations despite announcing his desire to move away this summer. The World Cup winner, who did not look overjoyed in photos tweeted by the club, boarded the flight that took Solskjaer's men to Australia.

They arrived in Perth on Monday, where they will begin their preparations for the new season. Pogba didn't crack a smile as he got on the plane, knowing that his time at United is up. Madrid and Juventus, as of today, are the only clubs battling it out for his signature.
'Los Blancos' are continuing to push for a move for Pogba who, according to his agent Mino Raiola, would prefer to join the Spanish giants. Zinedine Zidane is a big fan of the player, but Madrid's offer is currently some way below United's demands.
Juve, however, are willing to throw the kitchen sink in an attempt to bring the midfielder back to Turin, according to 'The Times'. The English press are reporting that 'The Old Lady' have made a 130 million Euro offer for their former player, who excelled during his time at the perennial Italian champions.
These will be crucial days for the future of Pogba, who as a consummate professional didn't refuse to carry out his club commitments as he looks to force a move away. It will now depend on the offers that the two clubs put on the table, and also on how United choose to deal with the situation.
