Paul Pogba completes record transfer to Manchester United from Juventus


ESPN FC’s Gab Marcotti, Steve Nicol and Craig Burley talk what’s next for Manchester United now that Paul Pogba is in the fold.

Manchester United have secured the long-awaited signing of midfielder Paul Pogba from Juventus for a world-record fee.

Pogba, 23, returns to Old Trafford four seasons after departing for Italy, with Juventus confirming the transfer fee of €105 million (£89.3 million, $116.4 million).

The fee, payable over the next two years, can increase by an additional €5 million if certain conditions are met, Juventus said.

The transfer beats the previous record fee of an estimated €100 million (£85 million) that Real Madrid paid Tottenham for Gareth Bale in 2013.

When Pogba joined Juventus in 2012, United received just £800,000 in compensation, and the Frenchman quickly established himself as a key player, helping the Bianconeri win Serie A four times and the Coppa Italia twice.

Pogba had made just seven appearances for United during his first spell with the Premier League club, all during the 2011-12 season, including three in the Premier League, three in the Capital One Cup and one in the Europa League.

All seven of those were second-half substitute appearances, and he opted to leave when his contract expired after failing to establish himself in Sir Alex Ferguson’s first-team plans.

He returns to United on a five-year contract, with an option to extend the deal for an additional season.

“I am delighted to rejoin United,” Pogba told United’s official website. “It has always been a club with a special place in my heart and I am really looking forward to working with Jose Mourinho.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Juventus and have some fantastic memories of a great club with players that I count as friends.
