Ryan Giggs announces Manchester United exit

Jose Mourinho has reportedly instructed Manchester United to complete a club-record transfer for Paul Pogba next.
The Red Devils have made a bright start to the summer, bringing in both Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Eric Bailly, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s move is also awaiting official confirmation from United’s end.

The 23-year-old has been identified as ideal for how Mourinho wants his United team to play next season, and there is seemingly a growing belief that a deal can be struck.

Pogba started out at United earlier in his career before leaving on a free to Juventus in 2012, having failed to break into the first-team as a teenager.

The France international has risen to prominence since then, becoming regarded as one of the best midfielders in the world during his four seasons in Italy.

United looked weak in the centre last season as new signings Morgan Schneiderlin and Bastian Schweinsteiger failed to make an impact, and Mourinho is desperate for the club not to miss out on Pogba after already being beaten to Renato Sanches by Bayern Munich this summer.

Although it will take big money, possibly as much as £67million, to meet Juventus’ demands for the player, United are one of few clubs who are both able and willing to pay that and his £10million-a-year salary.
