Pogba Is Back by bartz025(m): 7:22am On Aug 09, 2016
Frenchman Paul Pogba on Tuesday completed a sensational return to Manchester United from Juventus for a world record fee.

United reaveled Pogba had signed a five-year contract but did not give the cost which British media have put at 89 million pounds ($116.4 million, 105 million euros), not including agent's fee.

That would see the 23-year-old surpass the 85 million pounds Real Madrid paid Tottenham Hotspur for Gareth Bale in 2013.

"This is the right club for me to achieve everything I hope to in the game," said Pogba.

Pogba moved to Italy when United let him go for a nominal fee after his contract expired in 2012.

"I am delighted to rejoin United. It has always been a club with a special place in my heart and I am really looking forward to working with Jose Mourinho," added Pogba.

United manager Mourinho has been tipped with bringing back the glory days to the 20-time English champions after three lean years since Alex Ferguson's retirement.

POGBA THE KEY

And the former Chelsea boss believes Pogba can inspire United's revival.

"He has the chance to be at the heart of this club for the next decade and beyond,” said Mourinho.

"Paul is one of the best players in the world and will be a key part of the United team I want to build here for the future. He is quick, strong, scores goals and reads the game better than many players much older than he is."

Pogba made just seven appearances during his previous spell at the club as a teenager, but returns as one of the world's most famous players after winning four consecutive Serie A titles and leading France to the Euro 2016 final.

And he sends twitter fans to a meltdown with these tweet.

"Thanks @juventusfc and all Juventini. Goodbye means nothing, it is the time we spent together that matters," Pogba posted on his official Twitter account.

It is the first time since now Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane joined the Spanish giants as a player in 2000 from Juventus that Madrid haven't got their hands on the world's most expensive player having also bagged Cristiano Ronaldo from United in 2009 for a record fee.

United brought the long-running transfer saga to an end in the early hours of the morning UK time.

The reported fee does not include agent's fees. The transfer had stalled for weeks over how the two clubs would share the sizeable payout to Pogba's representative Mino Raiola.
