Paul Pogba has completed a low-cost move for his new home in Cheshire, which will cost £2.9 million.
The Manchester United midfielder has found a new home at £600,000 less than the asking price, and it’s only a 20-minute drive from the team’s training facility.
The five-bedroom home, which was listed for £3.49 million, has a heated indoor pool, saunas, and a movie room of its own.
Since returning to Old Trafford in an £89 million deal from Juventus last summer, Pogba, who makes £290,000 a week, has saved a little more than two weeks’ worth of pay.
It is thought that former United striker Javier Hernandez, who is currently at Bayer Leverkusen, and his sister Ana once lived on the remote, security-gated property in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the northwest.

Retired goalie Richard Wright, who most recently played for United’s rivals Manchester City, and fellow Frenchman Olivier Kapo, who formerly played for Wigan Athletic, are two more prominent former residents of the area.
It features a custom kitchen, enormous hedges to keep the 23-year-old private, and a leisure suite with a pool, all within 20 minutes’ drive from United’s Aon Training Complex in Carrington.
The midfielder’s luxury vehicles can be kept in the double garage and on the balcony.

Pogba first settled into Manchester’s opulent Lowry Hotel after his return from Turin, where he could call manager Jose Mourinho one of his “neighbors.”
Alongside Ander Herrera in midfield, the 23-year-old played the entire ninety minutes of United’s 3-0 victory over Leicester City on Sunday. The visitors overpowered the champions.

Pogba’s return to the Premier League has been uneventful, as Jose Mourinho’s club is currently 14 points behind leaders Chelsea in sixth place.
Rio Ferdinand chastised Pogba and teammate Jesse Lingard last week for posing on social media while United is below the rankings they would normally be associated with. His role as a prominent public personality has been criticized at times when on-field performance has declined.
On social media and other platforms, I’m all for having a little fun. But not when you’re struggling and in sixth place in the league and not in the Champions League, Ferdinand remarked.

“You still haven’t won anything.” You can’t go out and do things like that until you’ve won something.
“It would be inaccurate of me to ignore the United players, as I have previously exposed Arsenal players for similar behavior.”
