Mourinho: ‘Don’t know Pogba fee’

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho insists he doesn’t know how much Paul Pogba will cost.

The Juventus midfielder has been granted permission to take a medical with the Red Devils, with the fee expected to be a world-record of €110m with another €10m in bonuses.

“He’s our player assuming everything goes well in the medical, I will be there waiting for him on Tuesday,” Mourinho said after today’s win over Leicester, as reported by the Guardian.

“We have signed one defender, one striker, one midfielder and a creative this summer so it has been a good market for us.

“I honestly don’t know the exact amount of money we have paid for Pogba, though if it is a new world record I don’t think we need to be sad about that. Real Madrid were not sad when they set a new record for Gareth Bale, they were proud.

“It is a lot of money of course but football is a crazy industry, and very often what seems expensive now does not seem so bad in three years or so.

“I know we are getting a very good player and I think United is the perfect club to bring him to the level he wants to be at.

“We want to bring Manchester United to the top again and if you want to be the best player in the world this is the club to join.


“We have everything to offer him and he is coming because he knows the club and the city and he wants to be a part of the Manchester United project.”
