Jose Mourinho hints Man.United keen to sign Pogba

By Daily Sports on July 22, 2016

Jose Mourinho has given his strongest hint that Manchester United want to re-sign Paul Pogba from Juventus by saying "you have smoke, you have fire".

The Red Devils are reported to have agreed a world record £100m transfer for the 23-year-old Frenchman.

Pogba left Old Trafford in 2012 as a 19-year-old, with the Italian side paying a tribunal fee of just £800,000.

"I am not going to try to make you naive and believe that we are not trying for one player," said Mourinho.

The Portuguese manager has made three signings so far this summer, bringing in defender Eric Bailly from Villarreal, midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Borussia Dortmund and striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

When asked about the possible signing of Pogba, Mourinho replied: "We set four targets for us, we got three of them and we are going to get the fourth.

"We established the profile of four players to improve the squad, to give us more options, especially adapted to my way of thinking about football.

"Everybody speaks about one, but it wouldn't be a surprise for me if it is not him and it is another one because we went for profile.

"We have two more options in front of us and we are going to close one."

United's FA Cup triumph last season was the first piece of silverware the club has won since Sir Alex Ferguson retired as manager in 2013.

Under the Scot, they won 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups and two Champions League titles in the space of 26 years.

"It is very important to forget the past three years and to focus on good times," added Mourinho.

"I think that's what everybody wants at the club, it is what every fan around the world wants but at the same time I think it is intelligent to understand that times are different and realities are different.

"I don't think it's possible for Manchester United to win so much in the next 20 years than in the past 20 years.

"There was a very important evolution in our Premier League.

"I want to bring the motivational levels up and bring the confidence back, but be intelligent and know the reality we face in the Premier League is different than 10, 20 years ago."
