United see red over Le Havre’s Pogba claim

AFTER spending four days watching their name get dragged further into the Chelsea ‘tapping up’ saga, Manchester United have finally snapped.

The ink had barely dried on FIFA’s damning judgement into Chelsea’s recruitment of Gael Kakuta – a signing that means they will not be allowed to bring any new players to Stamford Bridge until 2011 – than United’s pursuit of Paul Pogba was brought into question.

Handed a professional contract at the age of 16 by the Old Trafford outfit, Le Havre cried foul over Pogba. First managing director Alain Belsoeur claimed United had offered inducements to break a contract the Red Devils do not believe existed.
