Pogba signing for 90 odd million pounds, simultaneously releasing a rap video with the signing, is so modern football.

I can't wait for his 8th appearance in a Utd shirt.
The £90m also represents that huge marketing potential being he's a relatively trendy guy, he's got the haircuts, the goal celebrations, the personality, the title of being most expensive player and the whole story of his leaving and rejoining Utd that could down as a future motivational story for anyone, let alone aspiring footballers.

Lol don't pretend like this is some heartwarming story of Pogba defying all the odds and coming back to United. He left because he was being ignored, went to one of the biggest clubs in the world and his talent was nurtured, and now Mourinho is back at United he's gone all out to get him. If Jose wasn't United manager this transfer doesn't happen, guaranteed
Such a great story though, can't wait to tell my kids they can achieve anything in life because United paid £93million for Pogba

Marketing and spin by Utd will probably turn that whole Pogba story thing into a story for history. In time, it'll be Pogba is sold by Utd, Pogba goes to Juve to prove himself, does that and then Utd pay record money to get him back.
Most people probably won't look into or remember the details back in 2012. From what I remember, it was more of his agent vs Fergie in 'sentiment for his trusted boys' phase at the time, with Pogba in the middle of it all.

I actually think that's it in a nutshell. It's 90m spent on appealing to the 'FIFA generation'. He's 'cool', he's got a haircut, he dabs, mans got mad skills...etc. etc. Is he any good? Yeh, he's certainly an improvement on Carrick or whatever but until I see him do it consistently in the Premier League, I'm personally not convinced the clubs United are trying to get past don't already have better midfielders...

It's mad how Vidal from the same club went for about a third of the price, pretty much purely on being less marketable. If I'd to pick one in a standalone match, I'd pick Vidal everytime, although I get that might be different in 3 years time.

My favourite thing about it is how desperately uncool Pogba actually is.
He adopted the dab about the same time as other cutting edge trendsetters as Hillary Clinton and white people at high school basketball games, his haircut's shite and that video with stormzy made me cringe to no end.
I get that he's marketable because people are mongs, but cool? nah.

He's gone back to a club that pushed the hashtag "#Pogback" and genuinely produced a video entitled "Dab University" with Jessie Lingard. He'll fit right in.
Am enjoying confirmation that Mourinho's still off his marbles though, continually moaning about Arsenal/Liverpool whilst going on to say he doesn't talk about other teams

It's pointless but funny watching Mourinho and Wenger troll each other. Those two will singlehandedly resurrect the Utd-Arsenal rivalry solely on their trash-talking of one another. It's so petty and yet it's gone on for like 12 years. Ferguson v Wenger only really lasted half of that.
