Mourinho happy with transfer situation

Paul Pogba is on the brink of becoming a Manchester United player – and Betway make it 6/1 that the France global celebrates by nabbing the No 10 shirt from captain Wayne Rooney.

The fee agreed with Juventus surpasses the amount paid by Real Madrid for Gareth Bale in 2013, and the France worldwide will become United’s fourth signing under Mourinho.

Asked who he expected to win the title, he replied: “I am going to have to say United”.

If you thought Manchester United paid out a lot to Jorge Mendes in seasons past, you might want to sit down before looking at Mino Raiola’s potential earnings from the club.

While his capture would be a major coup, it would also be a source of a few rueful looks at Old Trafford after the 23-year-old was allowed to leave for Juventus on a free transfer just four years ago.

Several reports claim it shows the name of Paul Pogba in midfield – even though United are still trying to clinch a $186 million (£105million) deal with Juventus.

Could Paul Pogba be wearing the No. 6 shirt at Man United?

“We have three faces to fill that profile and I am really confident that Mr Woodward and the owners will bring me that profile of player that I think the squad needs to have a good balance”.

United have been tracking the France and Juventus midfielder for several months and are prepared to break the bank to sign him.

“I asked them for four players, four profiles of players I needed and I gave them options”.

Ed Woodward did not travel to China with the team in the pre-season tour, which stirred up the speculation, that he is working hard on the world record deal and will land Pogba to Old Trafford.

He has gone on to establish himself as one of the finest midfielders in the world at Juventus.

But the Italian, who also helped to broker moves for Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan to United this close season, posted on his Twitter page to suggest there is a way to go on any prospective deal.
