Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri believes that Manchester United new boy Paul Pogba has still got room for improvement in the future. Which will take effect in the first game of the season of Manchester United’s in English Premier League.

On it, he scored within three minutes of his unofficial debut with a bicycle kick in United’s pre-season win over Galatasaray. Not me because I know him.

“I don’t speak about suspended players or injured players, I speak only about the ones that are ready to play. We weren’t surprised and then we started playing”.

‘Probably a bit with his commitment and motivation because we are speaking about a 34-year-old man that won so much in his career, but probably even more surprised with the person. They prefer to say or to hide or to play defensively with the words. The image he sells is not him, he is a good guy. I don’t care what people think. But in September we have the League Cup, the Europa League starts and there’s global games.

Manager Jose Mourinho only learned two days ago that he would be without his marquee summer signing for his new club’s opening fixture. We’re here to work, here to give everything for the club.

Two years later, United splashed £25.6m to sign Wayne Rooney from Everton, making it the highest fee ever paid for a player under 20.

“If you look at what Manchester United have had over the past few years, there hasn’t been someone like him with that kind of aura and presence”.

Mourinho, like most managers, would like to succeed with panache but, having watched United at close quarters for over a decade, he sees victory as the primary aim of any match followed by style.
