Many have argued that Pogba isn’t worth the insane price tag placed on his services by Juventus but by the looks of things Jose Mourinho seems to think otherwise.
Mourinho is a smart man when it comes to signings. Although it’s no secret that Jose has made a couple of mistakes in the past transfer windows.
Pogba’s move to United has been the highlight of the transfer window. Although uncertainty still surrounds the proposed deal.Â
Pogba has been a mainstay in the Old Lady’s lineup ever since he arrived at Turin from Manchester. Now that he’s set to return home as #Pogback greatly implies, the French midfielder is expected to take on a key role in the heart of United’s midfield.
Personal terms between Pogba and Manchester United are yet to be agreed upon, but the deal is set to be concluded by mid-week with both parties keen on completing the move as soon as possible.
Pogba will be Mourinho’s fourth signing in the window following the arrivals of Ibrahimovic, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Eric Bailly.

Almost every top club was in contact with the France international during his time at Juve. Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane said any team would want to add him, per Goal’s Tom Webber.
There is no doubt a player of Paul Pogba’s stature will be a huge signing to boost their trophy aspirations. With the French player on the team sheet, it will rather a be test of Jose.
