“I am delighted to rejoin United,” Pogba said in a statement Monday. It was the price of Pogba’s transfer that got everyone’s attention, as he moved over from Juventus for a record fee of €105 million. The fact that Manchester United acquired Paul Pogba on Monday was not the headline; the Premier League club had long been known to be interested in the French midfielder. In turn, that broken the Spanish giant’s own record, when it acquired Cristiano Ronaldo from United for €94 million in 2009. “Paul is one of the best players in the world and will be a key part of the United team I want to build here for the future,” United Manager José Mourinho said in a statement.
