FIFA has cleared Manchester United but opened disciplinary proceedings against Juventus over Paul Pogba’s world record transfer, soccer’s governing body announced Wednesday.

The France midfielder returned to United in a deal worth more than US$111 million in August 2016 from the Italian giants.

In May FIFA began an inquiry into the move, requesting information about the headline transfer from United.

But in a statement FIFA authorities confirmed that while United was in the clear of any wrongdoing, they were taking action against Juventus.

“We can confirm that disciplinary proceedings have been opened against Juventus FC.

“We can also confirm that no disciplinary proceedings have been opened against Manchester United,” the statement said.

It added: “As proceedings are ongoing please understand we cannot comment further at this stage.”

Pogba’s move came under particular scrutiny amid reports the player’s agent Mino Raiola would earn some 49 million euros (US$ 60 million) from the deal.

Raiola is suspected of a conflict of interest, as he was at the time agent for Pogba, Juventus and Manchester United.
