He stressed: “When I heard some of the comments and heard some of the managers criticising that, I don’t think they ever have this problem because, to have this problem, you need to be at one of the top clubs in the world”.

After breaking the bank to bring Paul Pogba back to Old Trafford, the Special One’s stock is at an all time high with United fans. And if Pogba can help the team return to the top of the English and European game after lean years since Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013, it will be money well spent. Ferdinand switched to number five in 2003 and further success followed, winning six league titles in total, three League Cups and a Champions League during his career at Manchester United. “I think that the Champions League is empty when Man United is not there”.
Former Juventus attacker Jose Altafini feels new Manchester United signing Paul Pogba has not made any progress over the past two seasons.
PA Sport also reports that Mata, sold by Mourinho during their time at Chelsea, looks set to stay Old Trafford, but Adnan Januzaj is likely to leave, although it may only be a temporary exit. “The wait was as annoying to me as it was to you”, Pogba wrote on Instagram. “He is quick, strong, scores goals and reads the game better than many players much older than he is. He is young and will continue to improve; he has the chance to be at the heart of this club for the next decade and beyond”. But the machine really started turning when Jose Mourinho took over on his mission to get United back into the Champions League frontrunners.
Pogba is the latest of Mourinho’s new signings following defender Eric Bailly, striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan as the Portuguese coach revamps the under-performing squad he inherited from Louis van Gaal.
“Everyone is interested in Pogba”.
“I spoke with a lot of players (who played under Mourinho) when he was at Real Madrid”, Pogba said.
Brown came through the ranks at United after signing for the club’s academy at the age of 12.
He had become a key figure at Juventus since his arrival and 2012 and won four Serie A titles, two Coppa Italia and as many Supercoppa Italiana.
The Frenchman made just seven first-team appearances for United, all off the bench.
Speaking about the world’s most expensive player, Bolt said: “I’ve alway said we’ve needed midfielders which [should] be creative, and I think he’s one of them”.
