Mourinho hails Pogba's transfer to Man. Utd

Xinhua, August 10, 2016 Adjust font size:

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho spoke highly of French midfielder Paul Pogba on the club's official website on Tuesday, and he expected Pogba to become a superstar at Manchester United.

Pogba, 23, returned to Manchester United from Italian club Juventus on a five-year contract with 89 million pounds (about 118 million US dollars) transfer fee, which eclipsed the 85 million pounds that Real Madrid paid Tottenham Hotspur for Gareth Bale in 2013.

"He has everything," Mourinho said.

"But he's a very young player, an unbelievable midfield player with such physicality but, at the same time, such agility, co-ordination and skill," Mourinho said. "What he has to learn now is how to play with us, and the team needs to learn how to play with him." Endit
