His good displays in France have seen him earn the praise of former teammate and club legend Ryan Giggs. While analysing the first half of the France vs Iceland game for ITV Sport, the 40-year-old said that Pogba has everything:
“He’s a talented player. He can shoot with both feet, pass the ball with both feet and you don’t realise how big he is,” said Giggs. “Physically he’s immense, he’s strong, he’s quick, and he’s got everything. He has got everything.”
Pogba will move to United only if Madrid move stalls
According to a report in the Guardian, the 21-year-old would return to Old Trafford, only if his move to Real Madrid falls through. The Spanish side are known to be suitors for the midfielder, but there is still an air of uncertainty regarding to possibility of bring him to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Even if the board is convinced to bring in the a player, a minimum of €100 million would have to be shelled out, as Pogba’s club Juventus are unwilling to let go of the player without making a considerable amount on his sale.
Meanwhile, Manchester United boss is known to share a good relationship with Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola, as he also the agent of new signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Another client of Raiola Henrikh Mkhitaryan is on his way to Old Trafford, and Mourinho would be in the talks with the Italian, discussing a potential move for the French midfielder.
