It has been one of the most highly anticipated transfer sagas in recent memory but the transfer of Paul Pogba has been completed.
#POGBACK is all i have seen on Twitter all day. A lot of fans are happy with the 23 year olds move to Manchester Utd from Italian giants Juventus for a fee making him the most expensive player ever at a cost of £90 millon.
Yes the fee is high. Yes it is a lot of money for a player the team let go for next to nothing four years ago but i think this will prove to be the signing that wins Manchester United the Premier League next year. He likes to score goals, can play as a defensive or attacking midfielder, loves a tackle and he knows the club. He is not a new foreign player who is walking into the unknown. This will be like returning home for the Frenchman. His potential is unreal and yes he is not at the level of your Ronaldo or Messi yet but he could get there in years to come.
With a number of good players around him and with a manager in Mourinho who trusts him the sky is the limit. I know the season hasn’t started and we have yet to see Pogba play in a Utd shirt for the second time at the club but on paper the potential for this player and his teammates is unreal and will be a joy to watch their season unfold in the coming months.
Before i sign off this post i just want to touch on the Addias promo video with Grime Star Stormzy giving a freestyle rap with Pogba dancing and rapping along in the background. This all but confirmed the move before the official statement from the clubs. Personally think this is one of the best ways to confirm a move i have ever seen.
So there you have it my view on Pogba and his move back to Manchester United. I hope that the player fufills his potential at the club and proves to be a successful signing as that will only be good for Utd and the Premier League. Time will tell with that one.
Hope you all enjoyed the post and be sure to check back with more posts this week previewing the Premier League season.
