The
Portuguese handler said that it is pointless to pull the fleece over their
eyes and say he and United weren't pursuing Italian champions Juventus'
23-year-old playmaker — who could cost the English club a world record £100million
($131m, 119m euros) only four years after he exited them for £800,000. French
midfielder Paul Pogba is an objective for Manchester United their director Jose
Mourinho everything except affirmed to the media in a meeting given in China.
"You have smoke, you have fire," said Mourinho, who is in China with
the squad for an inviting competition including Manchester City — oversaw by
his intense opponent Pep Guardiola — and Borussia Dortmund.
"I am
not going to attempt to make you gullible and trust that we are not striving
for one player." However, Mourinho, who supplanted the sacked Louis van
Gaal not long after the Dutchman had regulated United win the FA Cup last
season, said if the Pogba bargain fell through there was a fallback
alternative. Pogba's French global partner the energetic Paris Saint Germain
midfielder Blaise Matuidi has been specified as an option. "We set four
focuses for us, we got three of them and we are going to get the fourth,"
said Mourinho. "We set up the profile of four players to enhance the
squad, to give us more choices, particularly adjusted to my state of mind about
football.
"Everyone
talks around one, however it wouldn't be a shock for me on the off chance that
it is not him and it is another in light of the fact that we went for profile.
"We have two more choices before us and we are going to close one."
Mourinho's three effective invasions nto the business sector since he assumed
control have been bringing veteran striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic in on a free
exchange, marking youthful Ivory Coast shield Eric Bailly for a reported
£30million from Villarreal and sprinkling out an expense accepted to be between
£26 million and £35m for Armenian Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Dortmund. Joined
completed fifth in the Premier League last season, 15 focuses behind stun
champions Leicester City, and neglected to meet all requirements for the
Champions League. That provoked the club to sack Van Gaal and supplant him with
previous Chelsea supervisor Mourinho.
