Pogba, who left United on a free transfer in 2012, is expected to become Jose Mourinho’s fourth signing of the summer after Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. There are all sorts of things payments-wise to sort out and establish but I think it a case of when rather than if.

United and Juventus are reported to have agreed a deal in principle for Pogba’s transfer, with personal terms between the player and Red Devils also close to being finalised.
“The bruises [are what I remember],’ Rooney told the Daily Mail”.
Mourinho will want to have his glamorous new signing ready for the Premier League season, and a warm-up in the Community Shield would apparently be the ideal preparation, according to The Sun.
The Red Devils are set to smash the world transfer record for the France global midfielder, re-signing a player they lost to Juventus in 2012 following the expiry of his contract at Old Trafford. “I’m sure he’ll feel there is unfinished business”, Rooney said.
This transfer is set to break the record on transfer fees, with Manchester United handing £100m to Juventus.
“If you bring one player in for £100 million or whatever and he gets injured then it all goes through the chimney”.
And the fee eclipses the £86m Real paid Spurs for Gareth Bale back in 2013, making Pogba the most expensive player in the history of the game. So, if he comes, I’m looking forward to that again!. The way he speaks to individuals, the way he talks to the group, the way he makes players feel so confident.
“Training’s been really good and preparation has been going well; you can see why he’s been successful with the way he works and how he gets his message across.—.

“I know it’s a one-off game, but we want to show we can win a trophy early on”, he said.
