The France midfielder has returned to Old Trafford
from Juventus, a mere four years after departing
the club for a nominal fee, and becomes the most
expensive transfer everManchester United have
completed the signing of Paul Pogba from
Juventus for an initial £89.5m. Pogba left United to join Juve in 2012 but Jose
Mourinho has now re-acquired the France
international midfielder for a world-record
transfer fee. The 23-year-old, who has long been linked with a
return to Old Trafford, has now become the most
expensive player in football history, overtaking
the deal that took Gareth Bale from Tottenham to
Real Madrid in 2013. "Manchester United is delighted to announce that
Paul Pogba has completed his transfer from Italian
club Juventus," the club wrote on their official
website. "Paul joins on a five-year contract, with the option
to extend for a further year." Pogba is reported to earn an astonishing £104m
pre-tax salary over five years, a figure that put off Real Madrid, who were also in the running for his
signature, with Cristiano Ronaldo the only Los
Blancos star to earn more than that amount.
