Pogba won four Serie A titles during his time at Juventus, with United tracking his improvements closely ever since his departure as an interest in bringing him back to Old Trafford grew.

The advert ends with Stormzy revealing Pogba’s name on the back of his United jersey. The fact that the fee has broken the world record has reassured United followers, and the wider football world, that the Red Devils are still a global footballing superpower.
Jose Mourinho has now acquired all four of the targets he had highlighted.
“They work hard to be in the match and they aren’t, and this is going to happen in the next two or three weeks because we have just one Premier League match”. “The wait was as annoying to me as it was to you”. We talked. It did make me think.
In the years since, Madrid and Barcelona have plundered the Premier League for its greatest talents with the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Luka Modric, Gareth Bale and Luis Suarez all moving to Spain.
United is one of the few clubs in world football that could afford this outlay, though.
“Everything about this four-time Serie A victor suggests he will have no trouble settling into English football: he’s powerful, athletic and I like his off-the-cuff tricks and dribbles”.
Mourinho’s lineup for the new season is starting to have a fearsome look to it.
So, when you bear all that in mind, was Paul Pogba really worth all that money?
United will be more risky with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, while Mourinho is often a quick starter at clubs.
This time round, City, United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham (in that order) are expected to be the main contenders in what is probably the most open field in years.
Ferguson was unhappy with Pogba’s attitude in the last months of his contract, and didn’t play the Frenchman even during an injury crisis in the team’s midfield.
What position does Pogba play?
That was the last straw for a player who was desperate for a chance to impress his manager. He has a lot to prove to United fans, who didn’t see that much of Pogba in action before he rejected a new contract at the club and joined Juventus.
I’ve seen my players in some games where I’ve thought: ‘Oooof!’

Raiola did not respond to requests for comment for this article but posted “THE MAN IS UNITED” on his Twitter feed earlier in the day as the Pogba deal was confirmed. “I just came back to Carrington”.
