PAUL POGBA's agent has dismissed widespread reports saying that Manchester United have re-signed the France superstar.
It is widely understood that Pogba will return to Old Trafford in a deal worth around £112m.
The transfer saga has rumbled on throughout the summer but the 23-year-old is expected to complete the move soon.
But Mino Raiola, who is expected to pocket upwards of £20m in the record-breaking transfer, insists no deal has been reached.
He posted on Twitter: "Journalist = parrots. No deal done between clubs. It's a game between Italy press and UK press who announce it first and who is worse."
It is understood that the Juventus ace underwent tests with doctors in Los Angeles, where is currently on holiday.
Pogba is set to earn a massive £275,000-a-week with the Red Devils after agreeing a five-year deal.
He will take the No.6 shirt, previously worn by Wes Brown and Jonny Evans.

Despite Raiola's latest comments, Pogba has been backed to complete the deal by his first coach.
Mohamed Chacha, who worked with Pogba at Le Havre, told Gazzetta World: "Returning to Manchester United will be a beautiful thing for Paul.
"He’s only 23 years old and has room to grow. To train with great players and with a great coach will always make you better. We have yet to see his peak.
"When he was [at United before] he didn’t have the opportunity to break through to the first team. Now, with his return he can show his talents.
"I don’t like to talk about money, but if the Red Devils are willing to pay so much it’s only because Paul is a great talent and a golden boy who works so hard to win everything."
