Do you think Pogba would be an influential player for United if he joins them?
Juventus’ manager (pic) says they will be challenging on all fronts, irrespective of Paul Pogba. “I am not going to try to make you naive and believe that we are not trying for one player”, Mourinho told Press Association – as quoted by Irish Independent. “I am confident Mr Woodward can bring the profile we need to give the squad a good balance”.
The first real test of Mourinho’s tenure will come in sweltering Shanghai on Friday as United face Borussia Dortmund in the International Champions Cup.
“Pogba is a Juventus player at the moment but we don’t know what is going to happen”, Allegri told reporters ahead of his side’s pre-season clash with Melbourne Victory.
Manchester United are close to completing the world record signing of Paul Pogba from Juventus, with the fee due to the player’s agent Mino Raiola the only remaining stumbling block, according to reports.
Pogba would become José Mourinho’s fourth signing as United manager, following the capture of Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. “So we are in a great position to do what I consider will be a great market for us”.
“All I know is that Pogba is an exceptional player”, the France global told RTL. “I think he’s going to be a very important player for me and no problem for him”.
The Daily Mail understands Juve are resigned to losing Pogba this summer in a deal which would be worth £100m ($132m) including add-ons and have already drawn up a list of potential replacements.
