Only a top club like Manchester United can afford Pogba deal – Mourinho

Four years after leaving the club for Juve, Pogba has returned to United as one of the biggest stars in the game.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has declared that the Champions League is “empty” without his team in it.

“Paul told me before he left that he wanted to be the best player in the world”.

“I don’t know what system Mourinho will play, but even if he uses Pogba as a deeper midfielder he can give him a licence”.

“They literally see us as ‘we need our coffers filling, it’s OK, let’s go and get some off a Premier League club.’ That’s how we’re viewed”.

The 35-year-old looked set to leave Old Trafford at the end of last season if Louis van Gaal had stayed in charge. “They’re a club which is aiming to win and always wants to improve”. He has energy from box to box. Of course you are going to miss that! “Where you could approximately value a player before, today the identity of a club that comes in for a transfer is more important than the rest”, Wenger told Sky Sports.

“Juventus have built a good team”, the Bosnian worldwide said. Manchester United have now acquired a couple of superstar outfield players ahead of this season. It will be nice to have it. They had broken the British record 12 times, most recently with Angel Di Maria’s £59.7 million signing from Real Madrid in 2014, but never the global mark. No doubt that Pogba has talent and youth on his side, however Manchester United nearly lost the respect of the footballing world chasing him.

But the Premier League’s longest-serving boss was adamant that the buying power of big teams is getting out of control, and that players are now way overpriced. He must be convinced by the future at United.

The reported fee does not include agent’s fees. Wow, the fee, well that is how football is nowadays.

The deal then sparked a merry-go round of signings, with Everton spending £12m on Stones’s replacement in Ashley Williams from Swansea and the Swans then picking up Atletico Madrid striker Borja Baston for a club-record fee. Football grosses so much money.

You mentioned Paul’s time in the Academy – do you remember the first time you saw him and what was your impression? I’m very happy, the feeling I have in my body. But he refined his skill.

The pleased parent also has two other twin sons, 25-year-old Guinea internationals Florentin and Mathias.

“You can’t prevent it so I guess you just have to embrace it and do as well as you can in that environment”.

Raiola has a reputation for being confrontational, calling former FIFA President Sepp Blatter a “demented dictator” and making a failed bid a year ago to replace him at the head of world soccer’s governing body.

Meanwhile, Manchester Evening News claim that Jose Mourinho is in the market for a new defender, but the chances of that being Leonardo Bonucci is getting less likely by the day.

All seven of those were second-half substitute appearances, and he opted to leave when his contract expired after failing to establish himself in Sir Alex Ferguson’s first-team plans.
