Betway’s Alan Alger said: “It looks like Manchester United and Jose Mourinho will finally get their man, but it remains to be seen which number Paul Pogba will settle on”.

“We try to do suits by measure that are flawless for the person and the way I’m building the team is more important for me with the players from other positions than the one I think who is going to play as the striker”. “The situation is no different to when I spoke to you on Friday”.
He made an emotional comeback in Manchester United’s 2-0 win over Wigan Athletic last Saturday after being sidelined for 10 months with a double leg fracture last September.
“The only thing I can say is that my board, my directors, did a fantastic job to do 75% of the job I asked them to do”.
‘I don’t like that when other clubs do that in relation to my players. “We are in great position to do a good market”. We established four important target profiles – not faces, profiles – and we got three of them at the very early stage of the market. We know what the balance is and, I repeat, we are not going to be only focusing on one player.
British media reported United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward pulled out of the club’s pre-season tour to China to meet Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola on Wednesday, when the pair negotiated a prospective five-year contract worth 220,000 pounds per week after tax.
Pogba agreed to move to Manchester United in 2009, at the age of 16, although Le Havre were furious.
United is scheduled to travel to Beijing tomorrow for its second ICC China match against local rival City.
“We set four targets for us, we got three of them and we are going to get the fourth”, Mourinho said, having brought in Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Eric Bailly.
Pogba later said he was “disgusted” by the snub, which was exacerbated when Ferguson lured Paul Scholes out of retirement to fill the hole in midfield.
“We would like the fourth signing as soon as possible but if it takes until August 31 then that’s fine”.
The Manchester derby scheduled to take place in Beijing on Monday, July 25 is in doubt after heavy rain in the Chinese capital, the Manchester Evening News reports.
So honestly I do not believe Pogba is worth a world record fee plus the insane wages that follow as he is not a player with the “x factor” needed to inspire a team or lead a fightback (a la Roy Keane 1999 champions league semi final in Turin).

“I think we are going to be challenging for every sort of title that we can go for this season”.
