The transfer fee of 105 million euros breaks the existing record Real Madrid paid for Gareth Bale and is the first time since Newcastle paid 15 million pounds for Alan Shearer that an English club has broken the world transfer record. United manager José Mourinho said the morning that Pogba is one of the best players in the world and could be at the heart of the team for the next decade.

Paul, 23, has been with Juventus for four seasons, making 124 appearances and scoring 28 goals. He joined the Bianconeri from United in 2012.

The midfielder has been capped by France on 38 occasions, scoring 6 goals and was a member of the recent squad that reached the final of Euro 2016.

Pogba said he was delighted to rejoin United and that tt has always been a club with a special place in his heart.

“I am really looking forward to working with José Mourinho”, he said, adding “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.”
