The Frenchman arrived at Old Trafford from Juventus as the world’s most expensive player with a record £89million transfer fee.

Paul Pogba’s agent says the France global chose to return to Manchester United rather than take the easier route at Real Madrid because of the challenge on offer at Old Trafford.
Feyenoord striker Dirk Kuyt reveals that Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba made his frustrations clear when the clubs met in the Europa League.
“He was screaming at them, about the things which were not going right for the team”. “I think there are clubs that paid 20, 30, 40 (million pounds), which is a bigger deal than what Man United paid for Paul because you make a relation between what you pay and the club revenue”.
“They sent out a message with the transfers they did that this is the biggest club in the world”.
The 23-year-old is yet to score or provide an assist in his first four matches under Jose Mourinho this season and was heavily criticised by Sky pundit Jamie Carragher earlier this week for this lack of positional discipline.
Mourinho also said that Pogba’s performances will improve as the team’s displays get better. “I know that he is a very good guy with a lot of ambition, so the form will come naturally and will come with the team”.
World-record signing Pogba – expected to start as United attempt to avoid a third consecutive defeat when they travel to Watford on Sunday – played the full 90 minutes of a 1-0 loss in Rotterdam.

Tactically Feyenoord had an easy time preparing for Mourinho’s men, who Kuyt feels are predictable.
