Manchester United preparing €100m bid for Paul Pogba

Pogba left United for a meagre £800,000 in 2012 and the club face paying 100 times that amount to bring him back to Old Trafford

Manchester United may have to pay a British record £78million for Paul Pogba - four years after losing him for just £800,000.

Juventus want to start a bidding war for Pogba and believe the France star is worth 100m euros (£78million).

This is nearly 100 times the amount of compensation United received from Juventus when Pogba left on a Bosman in 2012, angry at his lack of first-team opportunities under Sir Alex Ferguson.

But they are prepared to bankroll the deal because Jose Mourinho wants to rebuild United's midfield around him.
Mourinho is a big admirer of Pogba and tried to sign him last summer for Chelsea, as did Manchester City who refused to pay Juventus's £71million asking price.
 Juve's chief executive Giuseppe Marotta warned then that Pogba's price would only increase, saying "in the future, he could be worth more than 100million euros".
United have been encouraged by City's reluctance to rekindle their interest and feel they are the leading Premier League club in the race to land Pogba.
However he is known to prefer La Liga and a move to either Barcelona or Real Madrid because he wants to experience a different culture.

United also cannot offer Champions League football, while Barca and Real have shared the trophy over the last three seasons.

Sevilla Fans outside the stadium Spain's top-flight becomes the second major European league to resume after the Bundesliga ahead of the return of the Premier League next week. Spain's La Liga resumed on Thursday evening with 'El Gran Derbi' as Sevilla beat Real Betis 2-0 in front of an empty Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium. After an uneventful first half Luis Ocampos, who was by far the best player on the pitch, gave the hosts the lead from the penalty spot on 56 minutes.
