The 'Paul Pogba to Manchester United' transfer could be resolved in the coming days if recent reports about the latest developments are to be believed. Real Madrid, the only other club, who had the financial muscle as well as the intent to sign the young Frenchman have reportedly ended their interest and now the coast is clear for United to put in the £100 million bid that would make him a Red Devil for the second time in his short career. New manager Jose Mourinho has made him a priority since taking over at Old Trafford and it seems it is only a matter of time before the player moves from Turin to Manchester.
According to a report in The Independent. "United manager Jose Mourinho has made it very clear that he does not have faith in the same young players as his predecessor Louis van Gaal, with James Wilson, Tyler Blackett and Guillermo Verela all omitted from the club's pre-season tour squad that embarked for China on Tuesday and now likely to be offloaded. With Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola the first of the pair to show interest in young English talent, through an official telephone inquiry about 17-year-old West Ham defender Reece Oxford on Monday night - Mourinho is pushing United to press home the world record Pogba deal. United have already passed up the chance to buy Portuguese star Renato Sanches to focus on Pogba. It was becoming increasingly clear on Tuesday night that the Spanish club's president Florentino Perez does not want to join the chase for the Frenchman, who does not fit the profile of player he generally likes to sign. Perez prefers instead to sign Valencia's Portuguese midfielder Andre Gomes."
The report went on to add the finer points of the deal, "United, who are likely to want to cap the size of the Pogba deal at £100m, would see the midfielder's arrival as a huge statement of their own intent as a big player on the world stage. With their vast earning power could certainly both to pay the 23-year-old's £250,000 salary and to smash the world transfer record. "
