Manchester United signs Paul Pogba from Juventus for a record world transfer

Football: Manchester United have announced the signing of France midfielder Paul Pogba, 23 back to Old Trafford from Juventus on a five-year contract with an option to extend the deal for an additional one year for a world-record fee of  €105 million (£89.3 million) which is to be paid over two years with the possibility of an increase by an additional €5 million if certain conditions are met.


Pogba's transfer beats the previous world transfer record fee of an estimated €100 million (£85 million) set by Tottenham's Gareth Bale in 2013 when he moved to Real Madrid.
speaking to Manchester United website after the transfer, Pogba said; 

"I am delighted to rejoin United," Pogba told United's official website. "It has always been a club with a special place in my heart and I am really looking forward to working with Jose Mourinho.

"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Juventus and have some fantastic memories of a great club with players that I count as friends.

"But I feel the time is right to go back to Old Trafford. I always enjoyed playing in front of the fans and can't wait to make my contribution to the team. This is the right club for me to achieve everything I hope to in the game."

Paul Pogba will become Mourinho's fourth signing since taking charge of United this summer, after the arrival of Eric Bailly, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Speaking on Pogba's transfer, Jose Mourinho said;

"Paul is one of the best players in the world and will be a key part of the United team I want to build here for the future."

"He is quick, strong, scores goals and reads the game better than many players much older than he is.

"At 23, he has the chance to make that position his own here over many years. He is young and will continue to improve; he has the chance to be at the heart of this club for the next decade and beyond."

Welcome back to Manchester United PAUL POGBA!!!
