After United's Community Shield triumph over Leicester City on Sunday, manager Jose Mourinho said Manchester was the perfect play for Pogba to become one of the best players in the world.
“I think United is the perfect club to bring him to the level that he wants to be,” Mourinho said.
“The Premier League is the perfect habitat for that. If you want to be the best player in the world, I think if you go to Barcelona or to Real Madrid, you are in trouble.
“Because I don't think the other two big guys will let you develop to that level.
“Here he has the conditions to develop in the most seen worldwide championship, which is absolutely incredible, with a team that wants to bring Man United to the top again."
