PAUL POGBA jetted into England on Friday to finalise his excruciatingly long-winded move from Juventus to Manchester United…
…And his mother isn't far behind, either.

Not long after the French midfielder, 23, was driven into the club's Carrington quarters, Pogba's mum - Yeo Moriba - was herself driven to the Aon Training Complex.
With Juventus ace Pogba set to go through the formality of his United medical and put pen to paper on the £109million deal, his mother - arch-enemy of Sir Alex Ferguson - has arrived to help out.
Moriba famously slammed Fergie back during Pogba's first, ill-fated spell at Old Trafford, forcing a move away from Manchester back in 2012... So watch out, Jose.

She said: "We got together with Paul's brothers and decided that he would not sign a new deal.
"Ferguson punished him by never playing Paul. He was alone.
"He even cried in Ferguson's office for the way he was treated."
Earlier on Friday, Pogba endured a bumpy ride in on a private jet to Manchester Airport - as tweeted by their social media account.

Pogba only featured seven times for United under Ferguson, including just three Premier League games in his one season in the first team squad.
However, he has blossomed into arguably the best central midfielder on the planet since swapping Manchester for Turin.

Since joining Juventus for the positively tiny fee of £800,000, the French star featured 178 times, netting 34 goals, including 38 caps for his country - most recently at his home Euro 2016 campaign.
And Pogba has received rave review from some football's biggest names, including former team-mate Rio Ferdinand and old coach Sambou Tati.
On Pogba leaving United, Ferdinand claimed: "[It was] a huge, huge error.
"The thing that stood out for me when I first met him other than he ability was his personality.

"This kid wants to be the best."
Meanwhile Tati added: "Paul doesn't feel pressure – he doesn't even know the word."
The deal in place sees Pogba move to Jose Mourinho's United for £89m, with a further £20m going straight into the pocket of super-agent Mino Raiola.
Pogba will become the latest expensive piece in the Special One's United jigsaw, following the arrival of Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan already this window.
