Yesterday Man United said via the official website (www.manutd.com) that the Paul Pogba claim had been put to bed, Le Havre are saying something totally different.
Le Havre claimed that United paid off Pogba’s parents so that he would break a contract with Le Havre and join United. United denied that and a FIFA spokesperson did say this:
"Manchester United is pleased to confirm that the Football Association has been authorised by Fifa to register Paul Pogba as a Manchester United player with immediate effect."
Le Havre have said:
"As opposed to what Manchester United specifies on its official site, FIFA did not validate the transfer of Paul Pogba but has, like it systematically does it in this type of case, issued a provisional international certificate.
"The decision of the international authority is a non event and normal procedure. This procedure had been the same for the previous cases of Charles N'Zogbia, Laure Lepilleur or Gael Kakuta and we know today the result of each one of these cases.
"Like FIFA specifies in its decision 'the delivery of the provisional international certificate does not prejudge anything resulting from the case file."

Looks like things aren’t finished after all.
