He is after the finished article and it’s likely that he didn’t even buy the lad given what happened in the following months. The Belgian sees the game and knows where to be on the pitch to have the biggest impact on the outcome. The heart of the point I’m making here is that the best thing Mourinho could do to get the most out of Pogba would be to buy de Bruyne. Obviously, Mourinho has no chance of ever signing de Bruyne for Manchester United so he must look elsewhere. Perhaps he could prise Modric loose if the upheaval everyone is expecting at Real Madrid takes place in the summer.
