Manchester United ready to pay huge fee for Paul Pogba transfer.



       
  The 23-year-old is set to end up a United player again this week, only four years subsequent to leaving Old Trafford for an ostensible remuneration expense after the expiry of his agreement in 2012. Having seen Pogba leave for Italy without a solitary first-group begin to his name, the Red Devils definitely can't have predicted forking out over £200 million for the midfielder to come back toward the north-west of England.

         Since that is the amount this arrangement will cost United when all is said and done. The £92m exchange charge, which surpasses the £86m Real Madrid paid Tottenham for Gareth Bale in 2013 as the most costly ever, neglects to cover even 50% of the aggregate expense to Jose Mourinho's outfit.

        A vast purpose behind the extended way of the arrangement was the wrangling over which club would be relied upon to pay a considerable charge to Pogba's operator, Mino Raiola. In an offer to drive the exchange through, United in the end acknowledged that it is they who will fork out the £20m pay-off to the Italo-Dutch 'super operator', taking the general expense to £112m.

         And after that, obviously, there is the player's wages. While Pogba at present gains around £4m at the Juventus Stadium, he is set to see his compensation build complex at Old Trafford. His £400,000 every week pre-charge income will see him pocket £220,000 after conclusions, costing United an aggregate of £20.8m per season.

        Through the span of his five-year contract Pogba will in this manner order an aggregate of £104m, taking United's aggregate potential cost over the span of his stay to in any event £216m. Accordingly, it sits high in the rundown of blockbuster arrangements to have been concurred over late years, notwithstanding when checking the exceptional multi-layered bundles including any semblance of Bale and Neymar.

         Pogba left United four years prior as a youthful ability with a brilliant future in front of him. He will give back this week as a four-time Italian champion, one of the world's best-paid players and the subject of the most costly operation in Manchester United history.

Liverpool and Ma.Utd. missing from EFL Trophy

   
   
      Weapons store, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham all picked against participating, yet the incorporation of Leicester and Chelsea will be viewed as a support by the Football League.

          It was declared in June that, trying to revive the opposition once known as the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, 16 'class one' foundation outfits would be welcome to join the 48 sides from League One and League Two.

         Be that as it may, various groups at first welcomed left behind the opportunity to be required, with installation conflicts and the quantity of diversions effectively played by foundation sides among the reasons accepted to have been given for the dismissals.

         As of late consigned Newcastle joined 15 Premier League sides in being welcomed additionally declined the opportunity to be required, with the Football League extending the welcome to other class one institutes all together of where the principal group completed in the alliance standings last season.

        The five groups who chose not to enter along these lines saw their offers offered rather to Norwich, Aston Villa, Brighton, Derby and Wolves and, with Villa rule against partaking, Reading were likewise invited.
        The reformatted competition will see 64 groups split into 16 gatherings of four, on a north/south local premise, each containing a welcomed club and they will play each other once, with the welcomed club playing one amusement at home.

       The draw, made to little flourish on Twitter, saw Chelsea assembled with Swindon, Exeter, Oxford.
Leicester will confront Sheffield United, Walsall and Football League newcomers Grimsby while Everton meet Bolton, Cheltenham and Blackpool.

       One of Coventry, Wycombe or Northampton will get an early take a gander at West Ham's new Olympic Stadium home, or London Stadium as it will be known.
Swansea handled an all-Welsh tie with Newport and in addition recreations against AFC Wimbledon and Plymouth while Southampton tackle Charlton, Colchester and Crawley.

      Feed were assembled with Bradford, Morecambe and Bury, West Brom face Luton, Millwall and Gillingham and Middlesbrough will meet Scunthorpe, Cambridge and Shrewsbury.

Jose Mourinho Fail Man.United vs B.Dortmund 1-4


   
    
Mourinho is a busted flush: A slave to his own particular personality and avaricious relationship to operators – Man United will come up short severely this year and completion in fifth spot. What's more awful they won't have the capacity to sack him promptly and the air at the club will turn toxic.

  I anticipate a sacking halfway during that time season, however I'm not yet ready to foresee his substitution. 

       Man City will win the association in a title race against a highly enhanced Chelsea. Liverpool will disappoint however sneak into fourth place. 

        My adored Spurs will have an unpleasant begin to the season yet enhance for a 6th spot and an Europa League Spot, they'll be poo in the Champs League. Munititions stockpile will simply be Arsenal and complete third without ever truly being in the running and a decent six focuses behind second. 

       We at long last have an administrator again for whom winning is everything. Moyes appeared to be engrossed with putting his own stamp on the group and fizzled wretchedly. 

       Van Gaal appeared to think more about his logic than whatever else. The football under Sir Alex wasn't continually enthralling. I review two or three periods specifically where various 1-0 triumphs were accomplished on the skip both in 1995-1996 season and again circuitous 2008/2009. 

      The football played in these matches wasn't intended to 'excite'. It was about getting the outcome and the edging one stage nearer to the finished objective of lifting the alliance title toward the end of the season. 

         The squad shows up fit as a fiddle with equalization and quality inside and out all through. Preferably I'd like to see a settled initial eleven (accepting we can get the Pogba bargain over the line) comprising of; 

Pogba, Mkhitaryan, Rooney, Military, DeGea, Darmian, Ibrahimovic, Smalling, Bailly,Shaw, Schneiderlin.

   The Pogba exchange figure of £100m has re-aggravated my disturbance at subsidizing inside football in this nation. 

        As a feature of the FA's system to enhance English football, there is an overwhelming speculation program in 3G pitches and guiding, with a specific spotlight on likewise advancing better specialized abilities at a more youthful age. This consolidated with another way to deal with concentrating subsidizing and the best mentors at more youthful age gatherings ought to prompt the advancement of better English players. 

       All great, yet FA and the Premier League (overall) contribute just £10m… Annoying, however sufficiently reasonable as the advancement of English players is not really their need. 

       In any case, there were a few sends a couple of weeks back about purchasing and offering youth players with purchase back statements to bet on their advancement. So expanding on this topic, why aren't Premier League clubs pumping more cash into finding and sustaining ability full stop? Not on account of the ability is English, but rather on the grounds that with exchange expenses for good players going at £20m+, finding as opposed to purchasing ability truly pays off. 

         We should take a gander at Greater Manchester and as per Manchester City Council, there are around 110,000 children under 16 and about 170 schools. 

   Joined could give every school £100,000 for supporting games offices while financing a group of 50 expert mentors (say normal compensation £30,000 each for another £1.5m a year) to work over the area for the benefit of the club. 

    A reason fabricated system with junior classes, a cognizant technique crosswise over age gatherings and coordination with scouts prompting an unmistakable pathway to the official club. Club players maybe even included at some level too? 

      The point is to normal the advancement (reflectively) of one player a year who makes it to the senior squad. At the end of the day, a player like Marcus Rashford on a genuinely general premise. 

     On the off chance that Rashford has another great year then consolidated with his age, he's most likely a £40m + striker. His improvement would have advocated the whole expenses of an extensive scale youth instructing plan for the neighborhood. He created without such a plan existing, envision what could happen with it set up?

Manchester United transfer news: Paul Pogba, Renato Sanches, Juan Mata.


  The speculation surrounding Paul Pogba’s future has taken a new, ridiculous turn.
The Juventus midfielder, who is Manchester United’s primary transfer target this summer, was spotted eating  in a Los Angeles restaurant with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The pair share an agent in Mino Raiola, of course, and Bobby Chinn, the restaurant owner who spotted them together, was keen to stress that Pogba didn’t reveal anything about his future.
Raiola himself was talking about the prospective transfer on Wednesday too and outlined what United will have to do to sign Pogba.
"Juve do not want to sell him and there is a chance for us to talk about a new contract. He feels no need to leave," he said. "But if you come with a project that will make Paul want to leave, we'll talk with the club."
Staying with midfield matters, you thought United’s pursuit of Renato Sanches was over, didn’t you? Well, according to the Daily Record, it may only have just begun.
The paper’s detailed four-part series on United’s new era under Jose Mourinho contains a tantalising tit-bit regarding the Bayern Munich midfielder.
Despite missing out on him to the Bundesliga club just two months ago, United have already made inquiries regarding Sanches’ release clause.
And finally, Juan Mata has moved to ‘used emojis to respond to rumours that his time at Old Trafford will come to an end’


Mata, who's a cheery type of chap even on his worst days, has been linked with a move away from the club ever since Mourinho's appointment.

Manchester United target RAPHAEL VARANE


Varane arrived at Madrid five years ago when Jose Mourinho was in charge and the Portuguese boss handed him his La Liga debut at the age of just 18.
And while he didn’t become a regular in the first team until 2014, he did break into the France team and has racked up 29 appearances for his country. 
But now Spanish newspaper Ecodiario claim the 23-year-old could face another season without regular football having failed to displace either Sergio Ramos or Pepe in the pecking order.

Both defenders suffered injuries last season allowing Varane the chance to impress under Rafa Benitez and then Zinedine Zidane.
The former Lens defender made 38 appearances in all competitions but has not reportedly done enough to break up the established pairing of Ramos and Pepe.
However, he is said to believe he is qualified to do more than wait and wants to be considered a starter.
Varane has four years left on a six-year contract meaning if he wants to leave Madrid he will have to force a move.
And Spanish outlet Fichajes claim a reunion with Mourinho at Manchester United would be an attractive option for him.

A move for Varane would please United fans who have already seen Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan head to Old Trafford this summer.

He would have to compete with £30million Bailly and Chris Smalling for a place in the starting XI but may feel his pre-existing relationship with Mourinho will stand him in good stead.

Manchester United had £35m bid rejected for Ighalo.

Louis van Gaal was desperate for a new striker to save his final season at Old Trafford but Watford rejected the offer, while also fending off interest from China.


Manchester United had a £35 million bid for Odion Ighalo rejected by Watford, ccording to the Sunday Times.
Louis van Gaal was desperate to sign a striker in January in order to save United’s season but Watford turned down the offer for the Nigeria international, who finished the season with 15 goals in 37 Premier League appearances.
The report claims that both clubs agreed not to make the negotiations public so that Ighalo would not become unsettled midway through the season.

Earlier this summer, Watford also rejected a £38m bid for the striker from Chinese club Shanghai SIPG.

First and foremost, he lost the fan base. Losing the fan base is the most evident sign that you have lost the plot. Find me an United fan who is completely 100% behind Van Gaal.
You simply can't. His philosophy goes against why many fans supported the club in the first place, fast flowing, dynamic and counter attacking football. Louis Van Gaal injected us with this deadly poison of amnesia football that either causes us to moan or yawn for most of the matches.

Most fans lost the joy in watching United play. The players seem caged up, fans slowly turning against the manager at old Trafford ( heck even Moyes got more support). Social Media is rampant with Louis Van Gaal insults that it ain't safe to put here. 
The fact Van Gall always seem to go against fans' wishes of more offensive football, playing players which are unpopular only serves to divide the fan base.

Manchester United should spend £100m Pogba money on Payet and Kante.


   Former Liverpool and Aston Villa striker Stan Collymore believes Jose Mourinho should be targeting two other France stars instead of the Juventus midfielder.
Manchester United should sign N’Golo Kante and Dimitri Payet with the money they are spending on Paul Pogba, according to Stan Collymore.
United are reportedly in talks over a world-record £100 million deal for the Juventus midfielder, who would be Jose Mourinho’s fourth summer signing since his arrival at Old Trafford.

Pogba has been criticised for his form during Euro 2016 and Collymore believes United should be targeting two other players who have starred for France this summer.

“I don’t even think Pogba]worth £70m or £75m, if I’m being honest,” the former Liverpool and Aston Villa striker.
The smarter move from Mourinho would be to sign two other members of the France team who’ll take on Portugal in the Euro 2016 final on Sunday night – N’Golo Kante and Dimitri Payet instead.

“Because what United need is to be good in the here and now of this season and, while I have no doubt Pogba could become one of the best midfielders on the planet in time, I don’t think he’d guarantee the immediate success in the way those two would.
“Kante, in terms of the way he breaks down play and his own athleticism, would be a better signing.

“And if you bought Kante and Payet, you’d probably still have £20m to £40m left for another signing.”
Pogba is the most wanted football player this summer.He has got some huge offers from the best clubs in Europe.We shell see what club he will sign up.

There's been a big development in Manchester United's move for Paul Labile Pogba...



The 23-year-old midfielder is widely expected to leave the Turin side this summer, but a move is not as close to materialising as recent speculation suggests.

Manchester United have not held talks with Juventus regarding the transfer of Paul Pogba, according to BBC.
Speculation surrounding the France international’s future has been prevalent since the end of the season, though an exit from the Turin side is not imminent.
The 23-year-old, who is gearing up for Sunday’s Euro 2016 final with Les Bleus, has won four successive Serie A titles with Juventus since arriving at the club for free from Manchester United in 2012.
And although a deal worth £100 million in transfer fees has been muted, a summer move to Old Trafford, or preferred destination Real Madrid, is unlikely to be concluded shortly.
The Premier League television deal, the contract with Adidas, the ugly commercial reality of football at the top level in England is such that the old numbers don’t matter any more. People scoff at the idea of a club spending £30 million on Troy Deeney, but he scored or assisted 20 Premier League goals last season, almost certainly enough to help keep a team in the top flight. And staying in the top flight is a financial prize worth fighting for, so teams will spend a fortune trying to do so.

The Ronaldo metric, or even the more recent Gareth Bale metric, neither of these have nearly as much relevance now as they did a couple of seasons ago. Everything has changed. €120m is the new €60m, or something like that anyway.
We’ve had a bad few years. We all know the story, but Moysey and Van Gaal have done their damage and joining United now is a legitimate career risk for a top player. For Pogba, joining Real Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern Munich is obviously a much lower-risk move, in terms of the trophies he is likely to amass. Let alone United not being in the Champions League this season—an obvious and immediate sacrifice—there is also the fact that no-one knows whether Mourinho will turn things around.
So, basically, this means we cannot afford to go toe-to-toe with Madrid just by fluttering our eyelashes more appealingly at Pogba. Blowing them out of the race by being prepared to offer a ridiculous fee is entirely sensible.

Murinho Vs Sir.Alex,Giggs and Rooney


Jose Mourinho made the wrong decision in returning for a second stint at Chelsea, according to Sir Alex Ferguson.
Mourinho has taken over at Manchester United after leaving Stamford Bridge before Christmas last season.
The Portuguese tactician was appointed again at Chelsea in mid-2013, leading the club to a Premier League title.
But it turned sour for Mourinho in London, departing in December last year after losing nine of 16 league games.
Jose Mourinho's first conflict with Manchester United in his administrative vocation was an acclaimed one as his Porto side bombshell Sir Alex Ferguson's men more than two legs in the Champions League in 2004. It didn't take long for the sharpness to start. Ferguson was irritated with Vitor Baia's part in Roy Keane's sending off as Porto won the principal leg 2-1 before their own fans. Mourinho continued to deride his United partner.

There was no less than a FA Cup triumph over United to keep Ferguson's men doing the twofold. "I won't discard this one," said Mourinho. "It implies a great deal, it's the FA Cup and it's the first for me. It implies we have won each title in English football in the three years I have been at the club."

Joined hoped to have done what's necessary in the arrival leg at Old Trafford and were set to experience on away objectives just for Costinha to seize upon a Tim Howard blunder and turn the tie on its head in the diminishing minutes… sending Mourinho running down the touchline and into Champions League history as Porto went ahead to win the trophy.

Mourinho went ahead to win the title in his first season with Chelsea and had the joy of beating United 3-1 at Old Trafford in May. The activities of the home side earned a burrow. "I saw their players and supervisor go for a lap of honor subsequent to losing to us in their last home amusement," said Mourinho. "In Portugal on the off chance that you do this, they toss bottles at you."

Zlatan Ibrahimovic confirms Manchester United move

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has confirmed he will be a Manchester United player next season, and will sign a one-year contract on Friday.




Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who won four Ligue 1 titles in his four years in Paris, will become JosĂ© Mourinho’s second signing for United, following the capture of Villarreal’s Ivory Coast defender Eric Bailly.
Mourinho and Ibrahimovic have worked together before, at Internazionale in 2008-09, with the manager later saying: “A player who gave me as much as Ibra will always be in my heart. He is very special, one of the best strikers in the world.”

United, who will formally unveil Mourinho early next week, are also hopeful of securing the Borussia Dortmund playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan, 27, after the German club admitted they had received “a much improved” offer for the Armenian.

Mkhitaryan, who has attracted the interest of several other clubs, including Arsenal, has been one of the best attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga since joining from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2013.
United, meanwhile, have confirmed they have added a friendly against Turkish club Galatasaray to their pre-season schedule, which will be played in Gothenburg on Saturday July 30th - potentially giving Swedish fans another chance to see Ibrahimovic in action.

United will also face Borussia Dortmund in Shanghai on July 22nd and Manchester City in Beijing three days later.
