Jose Mourinho 'confident of signing Paul Pogba from Juventus'

A report claims that Jose Mourinho is planning for life with Paul Pogba in Manchester United's midfield next season, with a move on the brink of being finalised.

Jose Mourinho is reportedly so confident of signing Paul Pogba this summer that he has already starting planning for life with the Juventus midfielder at Manchester United.

Pogba is thought to be on the brink of completing a £100m move to the club he departed as a free agent in 2012, despite Juve boss Massimo Allegri's best efforts to keep hold of his star player.

French publication L'Equipe reports that Mourinho is unconcerned by recent suggestions that the 23-year-old could snub a move back to Old Trafford, with the record-breaking transfer said to be all but done at this stage.

It is claimed that United will use their strong relationship with agent Mino Raiola to get a deal over the line next week, having already signed two of his clients in the current window - Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Pogba, a part of the France side that lost 1-0 to Portugal in last week's Euro 2016 final, scored eight times for Juventus last season to help the Italian giants to a fifth Serie A title in succession.
