Crazy money for Pogba but its not mine and it would only end up in the Glazers back pocket eventually. World class players don't come available too often so you've got to pounce when their available or before they move to another rich club. Its nigh on impossible trying to buy a player from a big club that they want to keep.

Pogba is a hugely marketable player so United will make a lot of money from him if we manage to sign him, playing wise he'll suit the PL and Mourinho's style. His height would certainly be a welcome addition.

How will they ?

United makes tens of millions through marketing partnerships with companies over the world. More big name players equals more partnerships and income.

It's just that simple, is it?

Pogba is a cracking footballer but as of now, he's no brand.

[Walter Cronc]

Surely Bale would have been a better signing here. Let Madrid have Pogba and get him. For that kinda money you need goals, not a skillful Carlton Palmer

I'd disagree strongly there, he's one of the most marketable players in world football currently. Interestingly I see United are attempting to buy his image rights as well much the same as they have done with Rooney in the past

Pogba is handy enough, but the other lad in midfield for France in the final looked a better player, Sissoko was it?

Who plays for Newcastle! Deschamps made a real mess out of how to use Pogba in the tournament and in that match in particular. Sissokho was ecellent though. Someone will snap him up no doubt.

Yip played him far to deep which nullified his effectiveness.

2nd Pre season game vs Dortmund about to kick off..

Still missing a host of stars but another chance to get a look at Bailly and Mkhitaryan

Fixed that for you!

2-0 to Dortmund at ht, they look miles ahead of United in terms of fitness levels at this stage.

Bailly looks very comfortable on the ball and Mkhitaryan looks a bit like Ross from Friends..

[Boycey]

Finished 4-1 I guess that's our Champions Cup dreams over for another year...

I managed to miss United's goal scored by Mkhitaryan..

Dembele scored an absolute cracker. He made Rojo look a bit silly.

Rojo looked terrible on the last two goals. Jose will hardly keep a defender that doesn't know how to defend.

Terrible player.... Plenty players within squad to play there

2-1 behind to Galatasary at ht in latest pre-season game. Much stronger team today but still getting played off the park  . Zlatan with the goal..
