Mourinho is also a long-term admirer of Pogba, who left United for Juventus four years ago. The 23-year-old France midfielder would cost around £65m but Real Madrid are also said to be interested in acquiring him from the Serie A champions.
Recall that Zlatan Ibrahimovic announced on Instagram that he is joining Manchester United. The 34-year-old was available as a free agent after his Paris Saint-Germain contract expired on Thursday and the striker has confirmed reports that he would join United.
Zlatan will join United on a free after leaving Paris Saint-Germain at the end of last season and will become new boss Mourinho’s second signing.
