British media said United splashed out a world record fee of 89 million pounds ($115.98 million) on the 23--year-old, eclipsing the 100 million euros ($110.84 million) Real Madrid paid for Welshman Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspur in 2013. "I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Juventus and have some fantastic memories of a great club with players that I count as friends. It has always been a club with a special place in my heart and I am really looking forward to working with (manager) Jose Mourinho," Pogba said in a statement on United's official wesbite. Pogba joined Juve in 2012, having come through Le Havre's youth system before moving to United's academy 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," added Mourinho.
