Rooney wants Pogba back at Manchester United
United and Juventus have agreed on the deal, personal terms of around £290,000 a week have been accepted and Pogba is reported to have had his medical in Los Angeles, where he has been on holiday.
Arsene Wenger believes Paul Pogba’s proposed £100million move to Manchester United represents the “complete madness” of the modern transfer market.
Manchester United’s pursuit of Paul Pogba looks set to drag on for a few more days with no deal yet in place with Juventus.

Not at length about how we’re going to play or my role, but he seems very excited about the job and he’ll have his own way of doing it.
Since the conclusion of the European Championship, both Real Madrid and Manchester United have been linked with the player.
In an interview with Daily Mail (h/t Sky Sports), United captain Wayne Rooney provided an insight about Pogba and his imminent arrival at Old Trafford.
“Since I’ve been in this sport I always thought the record couldn’t go any higher and I was always proved wrong”, he said.
Rooney for one feels that signing Pogba would be a big statement of intent from the club as he feels that the midfielder is a top-class player that can take the team to the next level.
“But Jose has come in, he has seen me play in another position for 10 years scoring goals, and that’s what he wants me to do”.
He added: “You didn’t even need to get into a tackle”. Later in the week, United face the defending Premier League champions Leicester City on the 7th at the Wembley Stadium for the F.A. Community Shield. It’s not just the new signings, we’ve got Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford from last season who made such an impact.
Rooney said although it is just a one-off game, his side want to show that they deserve to clinch the trophy.
