After watching Manchester United stomp over Galatasaray this Saturday, one can see how well would Paul Pogba fit in the starting XI. It's evident and clear that a player who can provide balls coming from midfield and can work hard defensively would be a perfect fit for player like Wayne Rooney, the skipper's role would change for the better inside the team. At least that's what Mancunian legend Dwight Yorke thinks will happen if Pogba's transfer becomes a reality.
Talking to Sport360, Yorke said: "Hopefully, with the acquisition of Pogba coming into the team, he [Rooney] doesn't have to worry about coming looking for the ball. The ball will finally come to him. I can see why Mourinho said 'listen, he's going to be playing up top', because that's where Rooney is good. That's a specialist position. When you play in that position all the time, your mindset is like that. He doesn't have to go looking for the ball now. I think that's part of Mourinho's plan."
The negotiations are currently delayed because the club hasn't reached an agreement with agent Mino Raiola, Juventus is demanding the €120 million for Paul and the agent wants a clean €25 million apart from that money. But Ed Woodward and Mourinho believe that Mino Raiola is really pushing his luck because counting the player's €12 million per-season wage, we are talking about a €175 million deal. The number alone boggles the mind.
