At this point of the story, every single news outlet from both Spain, Italy and England are after the exclusive. Nobody really knows if Paul Pogba will end up playing for Manchester United, Real Madrid, or if he will stay at Juventus this season. When asked about the subject, United manager Jose Mourinho prefers to not mention the player but does assure that the Red Devils will end up signing a player before the end of the transfer market.
Talking to BT Sport, Mourinho said: "We will sign one more player for sure. I don't want to speak about Paul, because he's a Juventus player. I don't like to talk about other clubs' players and I don't like it when they talk about my players. The reality is that we are going to sign one more player. The deadline is August 31 and we have plenty of time to do that, but we would like to do that before the Premier League starts."
Phil Neville also wanted to give his two cents on the Frenchman, he is convinced that Pogba's €110 million price tag is accurate. He told Sky Sports that: "I think you are getting one of the best midfield players in the world. I think you are getting someone who is not going to dominate a game on the ball like a Xabi Alonso or a Paul Scholes but is going to go from box to box.
"His physicality is always something that has stood out. Even when he was younger at the academy at Man United, he was always bigger than everybody else, he was always quicker than everybody else, he was always more powerful. He will give the Man United midfield that power and that stature that I think they have missed for the last two or three seasons."
Meanwhile, Paul Pogba is unconcerned and getting ready for the upcoming season in the US. Here's a video that proves Paul Pogba is fit as hell.
