The Portuguese has signed four major stars since arriving at Manchester United at the end of May, nearly completely revamping the team at Old Trafford following three disappointing years under David Moyes and Louis Van Gaal.
The world record for a transfer fee was shredded Tuesday when French superstar Paul Pogba completed a sensational return to Manchester United from Juventus for 105 million euros ($116 million).
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has labelled Paul Pogba as a kid who has returned home.
“I think that the Champions League is empty when Man United is not there”. So I would say, in France the clubs, amongst themselves, are very reasonable.
Asked if the player seemed happy to be back in Manchester, Mourinho replied: “I can feel that when I speak with him for the first time”.
“They work hard to be in the match and they aren’t, and this is going to happen in the next two or three weeks because we have just one Premier League match”.
I want to do great, I want to be one of the best, I want to win titles, I want to achieve things and that’s all, that’s why I came here, just to do this, to become one of the best and to win titles because I know this club has to win titles.
Real Madrid was also in for Pogba, with United understood to be jubilant at having attracted one of the world’s best players to join the club ahead of a move to Spain, where the elite have gone in recent seasons. “The wait was as annoying to me as it was to you”, Pogba wrote on his Instagram account.
With the Portuguese leaving Chelsea early and Jurgen Klopp taking over at Liverpool, we forgot about Mourinho in 2015/16 – but he’s back with a seemingly even sharper tongue and a bigger bag full of hypocrisies.
“When we played against each other Inter against Bayern in the Champions League Final, he said our teams are very different and he is correct”.

Executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has had a good working relationship with the agent for the past three years, although it required several meetings and numerous hours with him and lawyer Rafaela Pimenta to sort Pogba’s playing and image right contracts.
