French football club Le Havre threatened by Manchester United

Manchester United football club say they are prepared to sue Le Havre in France unless the French club stop making allegations about the transfer of the young footballer Paul Pogba.

Le Havre have again alleged that Manchester United offered money to Pogba's family in a bid to entice the 16-year-old to join them but the UK team say everything they have done is within legal Fifa rules.

The British football side has issued a statement that says: "Manchester United is ready to defend any claim brought against it by Le Havre at Fifa."

And Fifa have not had any complaint about Manchester United signing the French teenager.

Manchester United have written to Le Havre to tell them that unless they stop making such allegations they will take legal action against the club.
