Cole delighted to see Pogba back at Man United

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said that Manchester United’s world-record signing of Paul Pogba “ticks all the boxes”, but he is anxious that managers still have little control over insane transfer fees, according to an interview with Sky Sports.

Paul Pogba has set his sights on winning the Premier League, Champions League and Ballon d’Or after the France star completed his world record move to Manchester United on Tuesday.

“He looks like a kid who is back to his old school finding people he cares about and who love him a lot”, Mourinho said of his new player.

“It is reality and only going in one direction, journalists will ask these same questions in five years when players start costing a quarter of a billion”. He takes all the sessions and, while he wants us to work hard, he is always cracking jokes and having banter with the players, and I think that’s helped the lads bond with him.

It will be interesting to see how the Ivorian adapts to English football in his first year in the Premier League, but Mourinho has high hopes for him and he will have Luke Shaw and Antonio Valencia potentially manning the left and right flanks respectively.

“The empathy between the guys is really good too, so I’m happy with the squad”.

“But Mourinho has come in and specified the four players he wanted and the club has got them all”.

United are confident of being able to offload Schweinsteiger, with the German midfielder attracting interest from within the Premier League, Italy and the United States.

On Tuesday, the France worldwide completed his return to Old Trafford for £89 million, a sum which could increase with add-ons.

The free transfer signing of Zlatan Ibrahimovic aside, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Eric Bailly were recruited at nearly £30m each, while the club recently broke the world transfer record to re-sign Paul Pogba from Juventus. The presidential elections tend to create more instability at the Bernabéu and Pogba, as Mourinho has alluded to, would inevitably have been in Ronaldo’s shadow. He’s very mobile, he can get past players, and if Rooney plays at No.10, he can fill in at times if Pogba runs past.

The value of a player is dependent on his talent, the expected strengthening of the team, his age and of course his resale value.
