Manchester United confirmed on Sunday that they have reached an agreement with Juventus over the transfer of Paul Pogba following weeks of protracted negotiations.

Pogba will undergo a medical to finalize the deal.

Pogba will go to United for a fee of $121.9 million.

“He’s our player assuming everything goes well in the medical, I will be there waiting for him on Tuesday,” said Mourinho.

“We have signed one defender, one striker, one midfielder and a creative this summer so it has been a good market for us. I honestly don’t know the exact amount of money we have paid for Pogba, though if it is a new world record I don’t think we need to be sad about that. Real Madrid were not sad when they set a new record for Gareth Bale, they were proud.

"It is a lot of money of course but football is a crazy industry, and very often what seems expensive now does not seem so bad in three years or so. I know we are getting a very good player and I think United is the perfect club to bring him to the level he wants to be at.

“We want to bring Manchester United to the top again and if you want to be the best player in the world this is the club to join. We have everything to offer him and he is coming because he knows the club and the city and he wants to be a part of the Manchester United project.”
