Paul Pogba: 'I'm on my holidays'

Paul Pogba has urged Manchester United fans to "calm down" as speculation over his world-record return to the club intensifies.

The 23-year-old is believed to be in the final throes of sealing a £100m switch to Old Trafford from Juventus after a fee was reportedly agreed between the two sides.

Pogba is currently on holiday with Everton striker Romelu Lukaku following France's Euro 2016 campaign and took to Instagram in an attempt to placate excitable United fans.

Les amis je vous écoute tous. Au moment présent je suis en congés, je me repose un peu. Profitons un peu avant que l'été se termine. Calmons nos ❤️ ✌🏿 Guys I hear all of you. I'm on annual leave, chilling a bit, let's enjoy some summer before it ends. Calmons nos ❤️, peace 👊🏿 Ragazzi vi leggo. Sono in ferie a rilassarci un attimo. Godiamoci un po di estate prima che finisce, peace ✌🏿️ @romelulukakubolingoli10
