Yup he's a classy and personable character, playful as well, and has immense confidence in his ability.

Will the actual numbers and lettering, style-wise, be as portrayed in the lockeroom Adidas ad, or we'll revert back to typical EPL-style format once season begins?
They really worked on manufacturing this, didn't they? Probably agreed for him to come with black clothes and a gold backpack to fit the whole black/gold theme.
Most definitely. Preparations have perhaps been ongoing from before the deal was agreed with Juventus. The club must have been super confident all along
Loved the little smirk when Jose mentioned other clubs not being big enough.
A lot of wow for me if that's really the case... It's lovely. Just lovely that Pogba was able to say no to Madrid.
And also if the 2 meetings were enough to seal the deal then I want to pay a special tribute to @Acquire Me and @Maradona10
Btw, the article says that in 2013, United scouts were already saying that we needed to sign back Pogba, available for £65M.
Unbelievable information here but well, Mourinho wanted him so.
Still doesn't do it anywhere near as often, and is a few years older. The amount of long-range strikes Pogba has racked up in his career is remarkable, Gerrard is the only player I can think of in recent years who scored goals from distance that frequently at his age, and Pogba has a good few other qualities Gerrard never had.
Pogba and Griezmann are roommates for the French national team. And they're friends. Paul can convince Antoine once United is back on top with a title this year!
Whoops... Anyway it was too good it had to be posted again
Almost killed me that did!
Mata bits made me laugh so hard!
I'm very neutral when it comes to these thing, Pogba is well known to give up on games when the team is not doing so well and start whining about every mistake made by the team. Although he is better than Ozil.
I was looking for the white text, but seems like there is none.
The first bold part shows you have not seen enough of him. Him not being good/tidy with the ball is the biggest joke I have read on here.
It gave our sponsors a lot of exposure too and it made the transfer big world wide
I know this video has been posted but i strongly recommend people with doubts to watch it. It's not some scrabby 5 minutes highlight video.
I can't see how he's going to be anything other than a success here. I watched him in the reserves but this player is unrecognisable. He has elevated his game so much.
Is there a more complete young midfielder. Strength, pae, skill, balance, technique, grace, guile, toughness, passing(long and short)...this guy has it all. Look at how players are bouncing off him.
Damm, those strikers suck big time.
Sad Chris just sold 1. In contention maybe..?
In terms of name he is up there with the best maybay even he is the best.
But we will have to see how he performs in the league before we can really claim he is the best. Di Maria was that aswell in name when we signed him but he didnt perform.
He has the gold backpack since forever.
Hahaha love it!
The guy will be ready for a cold night in Stoke
To be serious, at Juve he had the freedom to bomb forward anytime he get the ball. He was also playing a lot on the left side of midfield which he favors.
I just hope that we'll be able to find a global formation that suits him the best, and not adpating him to our poor style of play. I mean I would be glad to play a 4-3-3 with him and Ander in front of Carrick, allowning them to push forward and sitting behind, but not being the defensive midfielders, or I would like to see a 4-1-4-1 where he share the number 8 spot with Wayne, as we know that Wayne can't do #10, #8 anymore....
Please don't bring up that period. Make my blood boiling every time I recall that period. Transition would be so much smoother in the right hand/ a charismatic manager who has great pulling power at that period.I guess that is Shah Rukh Khan's movie. Lolz. Love it where they put Jose's face .... Lolz
So whats the preference from the Caf, if Rooney being displaced were plausible, box to box or number 10 for Pogba?
I'd prefer the former.
I'd prefer the former.
I thought Silva would also make it to that league, no?
Could have been better. With Ed's face on Amitabh Bachhan and Lingard, Rashford and other youngsters dancing around in the background instead of the extras

Ozil is a very good player, but not the player we all thought he could become. I'm not even convinced he's Arsenal's best player.
I'd not rank them as such, but I'd put Aguero, Zlatan and Pogba in the very top tier. Hazard could potentially be there too if he gets back on track.
Ozil I'd put on the next level down, alongside Silva, KDB, Mkhitaryan (if he replicates his Dortmund form), Sanchez etc.
Mahrez needs another season at a top level before I could put him in with the Silvas and Ozils though.
Would love to see something like this, not gonna happen with Rooney there though. Schneiderlin in there as a Vidal-lite to allow Pogs to do his thing.
But dithering Dave dithered and we ended up with Fellani!
You may already see other reasons giving to you by other posters. I'll add the Adidas promotion campaign into the mix. Ronaldo moved away from Nike club to Adidas, Bale is not top face, same with De Gea... Pogba is the face of Adidas now (even though they have Messi) and in future. Moving between 2 Adidas clubs (to their biggest sponsor paid club). They even created the promotion campaign FirstNeverFollow so it's better Pogba to acts differently than the precedent world record holders. Adidas has one of the the best advertising campaign so of course they don't want controversial between the 2 clubs and their poster boy.
We'd win the league with that. But like you said, not gonna happen.

He's going to play the role Fellaini had during the shield, it's also left sided and he will be allowed freedom.
Yup, slot him in exactly the same role that Mourinho had Lampard excelling in.
I'm quite hopeful that Jose will drop Rooney in a few weeks if he doesn't improve (he won't). Remember that Casillas was dropped, and that was a bigger deal in Madrid than what dropping Rooney at United would be.
Yeah, I reckon that's our strongest lineup at the moment, provided Schneiderlin can get back to being as good as he was for Southampton. Hopefully we'll see it at some point.

Looking at that team, though, I really wouldn't fancy being an opposition right back.
Martial alone is hassle enough, but with Luke Shaw bombing down the touchline and Pobga drifting out to the wing, our entire left flank is going to be devastating.
I hope you are right too!

you are so spot on mate!!!!!!I could clearly see that this is true actually simply due to the fact that we'd been constantly linked with a move for Pogba since Woody was appointed. If this is true, however, Woody has done a great job and has clearly shown Pogba that United value him a lot. In combination with Mou (who also tried to sign Pogba for a while now) this valuation and long standing relationship could clearly have influenced Pogs decision to come back - even over Madrid (not sure if this is true tbh).
Woody's done a great job since he's in charge I hope our players and manager will do the same aagain this season so that even Woody could earn a bit of his well deserved credits.
Of course it's true, Zidane himself admitted he wanted Pogba.
That line-up is extremely strong and probably the best we could field. That would also give Pogba the freedom he needs to roam and be present in the attacking third
