Since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement at the end of the 2012-13 season, United have failed to even finish in the top-flight’s top three during the brief and underwhelming tenures of David Moyes and Louis van Gaal.

United paid a world record fee of 89 million pounds to bring Pogba back to Old Trafford from Juventus on Tuesday, while City signed England defender Stones from Everton for 47.5 million pounds later that day. Of course you are going to miss that!
“It will be good to see how he fits into the team”.
‘It is understood the Spain midfielder, who was sold to United for £37.1m by Jose Mourinho when he was at Chelsea, could still have a role to play under the Portuguese manager’.
“The fee, well that is how football is nowadays”. That has gone up because the available of money is much higher.
“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Juventus and have some fantastic memories of a great club with players that I count as friends, but I feel the time is right to go back to Old Trafford”, Pogba said about his return to the Premier League’s most notable pitch.
The Manchester rivals have also spent big on the likes of Ilkay Gundogan, Nolito, Leroy Sane (all City), Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Eric Bailly (both United), and both clubs have a summer net transfer spend of over 40 per cent of their annual turnover.
Jose Mourinho is Manchester United manager now and we have been treated (tortured) with his usual sniping press conferences already. He predicted: “I look at Arsenal and think they are stable, but can that stability get them where they want?”

“That will come with time, hopefully, but first I want to win the Premier League, which I have never done”. “He identified a player and, nine times out of 10, got the player”.
