OLYMOIC CEREMONY OPENING

Pogba closes in on Juventus switch as ex-United starlet jets in for medical

Paul Pogba will complete his protracted move to Juventus this weekend.

The 19-year-old left Manchester United after refusing to sign a new deal, a move that sparked criticism from boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

The Frenchman will arrive in Turin on Friday night to undergo a medical.

 Juventus director Giuseppe Marotta told Marotta told Sky Italia: 'Pogba? He arrives tonight and he will quickly take his medical, then we will sort out the details of his contract.'

Earlier this month, Ferguson said: 'We were disappointed in Paul Pogba. He showed a lack of respect to the club.

'Although we always felt he was going, he never intimated it until he left. That is disappointing. But he has made his decision.'

20:51: Take cover folks. Despite the weather this week making us feel like we were basking on the Costa del Sol, the heavens have opened and the people lucky enough to be inside the stadium are huddled like penguins under a load of umbrellas.

20:48: Turner has finished now. So too has the strange, choreographed football match. This is only the warm up too... what can we expect in 12 minutes time?

20:44: Frank Turner is singing live as we speak at the Glastonbury area of the stage. There's also people dressed as what appear to be medieval peasants playing a game of football. I think it would be safe to say Mr Turner won't have played a gig like this before. 16 minutes until the ceremony officially starts.
