After doing my research I found out that Pogba is indeed legitimate Homegrown.
A homegrown player by definition is :
An HGP means a player who, irrespective of his nationality or age, has been registered with any club affiliated to the Football Association or the Football Association of Wales for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons or 36 months prior to his 21st birthday (or the end of the season during which he turns 21).
Pogba join us from Le Havre u19 on Jul 1, 2009 at the age of 16 then he move to Juventus on Aug 3, 2012 at the age of 19.
The Pogba's not homegrown all start because we registered him at october 2009 not when we suppoused to registered him at july 2009. That's because Le Havres complaint holding up his registration.
But because the complaint already clear up, we can continue the stalled registration. The keyword here is stalled.
Thus even though de facto he's registered at october 2009, de jure he's registered on Jul 1, 2009.
Made him a homegrown after 3 years, 1 month, and 2 days as United player
EPL register him as HG, that's all we need to know.
