Manchester United stars arrived for training on Wednesday as they step up their preparations ahead of the upcoming Premier League season.
However, Paul Pogba made his way inside the Carrington training base headquarters using a different entrance as he looks to force through a move to La Liga giants Barcelona.
The wantaway World Cup winner was driven in through a different entrance and kept a low profile in the blacked-out people carrier with his future up in the air ahead of the new campaign.
Pogba has made it known to players and staff in the last 48 hours that he wants to be sold to the Catalan giants, two years after rejoining United from Juventus in a then world record £89million deal.
The 25-year-old midfielder is also understood to have sent a text message to Ed Woodward, informing United’s executive vice-chairman of his desire to go, although the club flatly deny this.
United maintain that Pogba is not for sale, just two days before Jose Mourinho’s side kick off the season at home to Leicester.
They would have little chance of signing a replacement before the transfer window closes in England at 5pm on Thursday.
Meanwhile, while all is not happy with Pogba, the rest of Jose Mourinho's squad appeared in high spirits as they got ready to train on Wednesday.
The likes of Fred and Antonio Valencia were more than happy to pose for pictures with United supporters outside the training base.

we have grown beyond the point of begging or been trying to persuade a player to remain because of his relevance to the team which he knew he is important. Manchester United have lost big players severally under Sir Alex and we still played to be champions. if Pogba wishes to leave by acting nonchalant in attitude towards the team, he could be pushed out before he turns the team the direction as the new campaign beeps up without a positive focus. Manchester United is known for victories and should play for victory. we are winners and winners we shall remain.
