Paul Pogba: Manchester United re-sign France midfielder for
world-record £89m



Pogba has won 38 caps for France and the Serie A title with
Juventus four times
Paul Pogba said "the time is right to go back to Old Trafford" after
completing his world-record £89m transfer to Manchester United.
The 23-year-old midfielder returns after four years away, having
left United for Juventus for £1.5m in 2012.
Pogba, who signed a five-year deal, added: "This is the right club
for me to achieve everything I hope to."
Manager Jose Mourinho said the France international could be "the
heart of the club" for the next decade.
United will pay the Italian champions 105m euros for Pogba, plus
5m euros (£4.5m) in performance-related bonuses and other
costs, including 5m euros if Pogba signs a new contract.
It surpasses the £85m that Real Madrid paid Tottenham for Wales
forward Gareth Bale in 2013.
The announcement was made by United just after 00:30 BST on
Tuesday, with a glossy video showing the player - with a red devil
marked into his hair - emerging from the shadows.
It was followed by a series of sponsor videos, including one with
English rapper and grime artist Stormzy, whose most successful
song to date is 'Shut Up'.

BBC Three: How Pogba has followed in the footsteps of
football's great returners
Pogba, who helped hosts France reach the Euro 2016 final, has
won the Serie A title in each of his four seasons at Juventus.
He is Mourinho's fourth signing at United, after Ivory Coast
defender Eric Bailly, Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and
Armenia forward Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
It will be the first time in 20 years an English club has set a world-
record transfer fee, after Newcastle United paid £15 to sign
England striker Alan Shearer from Blackburn Rovers for £15m.
Pogba joined United from French club Le Havre in 2009 as a 16-
year-old, but made just a handful of appearances before his
contract expired in July 2012.
He has made 178 appearances for Juventus, scoring 34 goals, and
helped the club reach the 2015 Champions League final. The Serie
A side had offered him a new contract, while Real Madrid were also
interested in signing him.
Pogba said his mum told him he would return to Old Trafford and
that it was his "destiny", adding: "
Speaking to MUTV he added: "I just came back to Carrington. It
was like I'd just come back home. I just went for a holiday."
In a series of messages to Juventus supporters on social media,
Pogba said: "Goodbye means nothing, it is the time we spent
together that matters. I will bring with me a piece of you and leave
you a little piece of me."
