OFFICIAL: MAN UTD SIGN POGBA
By Uwoghiren
Manchester United have completed the signing of
Paul Pogba from Juventus.
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 outfit d, 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."
The French midfielder made just seven appearances for
United during his initial stint with the club, and
failed to complete 90 minutes in the Premier League
under the management of Sir Alex Ferguson.
But while there was some bitterness on both sides at
his departure for Italy, Pogba has made the decision
to rejoin the club as they look to vastly improve on
the fifth-placed finish secured under Louis van Gaal
in 2015-16.
