But Carragher believes that fans across England should be enthusiastic about the prospect of seeing the 23-year-old back in the Premier League, although he could not hide his disappointment at seeing him head back to Liverpool’s arch-rivals.

Lineker – like many others – has been sharing his opinion on the return of Paul Pogba to Old Trafford.
Former Juventus attacker Jose Altafini feels new Manchester United signing Paul Pogba has not made any progress over the past two seasons.
“He’s a very young player, an unbelievable midfield player with such physicality but, at the same time, such agility, co-ordination, skill – he has everything”, Mourinho said.
The newly-appointed Portuguese manager has been tasked with bringing back the glory days to the 20-time English champions after three lean years since Alex Ferguson’s retirement. “He has the chance to be at the heart of this club for the next decade and beyond”, said Mourinho.
“He is quick, strong, scores goals and reads the game better than many players much older than he is”. Pogba joined Juventus from Manchester for about $1 million.
He had developed into a key figure at Juventus and won four Serie A titles, two Coppa Italia and as many Supercoppa Italiana.
Sky sources understand Pogba’s exit back in 2012 was not as divisive and unhappy as it seemed at the time and, if it had been, then there would have been no hope of luring back to a place that he’s called “home”.
With Mourinho having secured his four top transfer targets – Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Eric Bailly, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and now Pogba – United are firmly reestablished as genuine title contenders.
Mourinho’s reign got off to a successful start Sunday as Ibrahimovic scored the victor in a 2-1 victory over Premier League champions Leicester City in the Community Shield. There are a certain numbers of clubs that make it not a Champions League without these clubs.
“This transfer took so long because it was a huge decision and involved lots of thinking and work”.
Mourinho continued: “When I heard some of the comments and I heard some of the managers criticising that, I don’t think they will ever have this problem because to have this problem you need to be in one of the top clubs in the world”.
