The newspaper goes on to suggest that Pogba won’t be United’s last signing this summer, with Fabinho, Saul Niguez and Blaise Matuidi also on United’s shortlist of targets.

United are tight-lipped about talks with Juventus and French global midfielder Paul Pogba, with British media speculating a mega-money move could be close.
Strengthening the team’s defense even further seems far more realistic.
“I’ve heard him talk to players, and you know that player will now be feeling on top of the world”. “It was a good start (against Galatasaray) and fantastic to score my first goal for United in Sweden”.
Joao Miranda would be a good short-term signing for United. This season it can’t be just about defence, defence, defence.
Schweinsteiger, who recently retired from global football following some below-par performances for Germany at Euro 2016, endured a hard first season at United after a string of injuries hampered his progress.
The 30-year-old acknowledges he must regain his sharpness in front of goal after playing a more creative role last term, saying: “When he came to see me before [Euro 2016], I came away very happy. I was running around just trying to get the energy back into the team”, he said.
However, with Mourinho unlikely to stretch the 21-year-old’s fitness greatly, opportunities could arise for Darmian on the left, especially with United’s participation in the Europa League.
“We have something big going on”. This is a great manager with his own plans and as a team we are learning a lot. To win titles you have to improve and if we can do that then we have a great chance to win titles this season.

“The most special thing with Mourinho is his ability to create a special bond with every player: he always knew what to say to every player after every game, which was extremely impressive. I prefer Mourinho, in part because of Didier Drogba, who Mourinho worked with.I have played with Didier in the Ivory Coast, he is a friend and he told me, “Jose did this for me, Jose did that for me”.
