I know this is a bit late but i just realised that the Chevrolet Camaro car that was ferrying Pogba to Carrington was a left hand drive car. Now you may ask why i even bothered stating this. But this all coincides with the marketing ploy from United/Chevrolet aimed at the far east and the United States (Mostly left hand drive cars except Japan and Hong Kong).
Apparently Chevrolet Camaros aren't sold/targeted in the UK/Europe. And the timing of the Pogba signing was perfect to the crazy rush hour time zones of those targeted markets.
I didn't even realise any of this not least the left hand drive car amidst all the 'Pogba has signed' frenzy.
Subtle yet powerful - This is United's commercial pulling power.
This is from the Independent
It also talks about how social media is becoming more and more useful and powerful in helping clubs especially ours become more powerful.

This is because they are crap cars and no one in their right mind would want to buy one in the UK and the rest of Europe.

Back in the day the Protestants supported United and Rangers and the left footers would support Celtic and the bin dips.

And nowadays I guess there's still a strong presence of these four clubs' support in NI.

The deal was announced to coincide with the markets opening in Asia and America

Why would the markets be opening in Asia and America at the same time?
