I think the delay was actually Pogba himself, if Mourinho is checking his instragram he must have been waiting to see how long the holiday would go on if that is true, surprised he wouldn't just give him a call though.
Paul Pogba | Undergoing Medical | Helping out the Laundry Ladies

- Start date
Why would Pogba be tweeting in English and not Italian (if he was staying at Juventus that is)
How dem salty tears coming along?
Bloody hell, Woody can't even manage to get the £100m
Obviously thats fan made but I can see United/Adidas going with the same sort of angle. They're going to market the shit out of him.
Absolute gold that
In the beginning, I thought we were wasting our time chasing Pogba. United don't sign 'Galactico's' and if we argue that they have in the past; the one or two failed miserably. It seemed a logical point of view. Sign people who want to play for the club, sign a Vidic or an Evra. People we didn't know a lot about but quickly grew to love. Then the rumors about Pogba started to thicken. There was the fact he has close ties in Manchester, the fact R Madrid pulled out of the pursuit. Then it was hold my breath time; wait and see if there is fire under the smoke. I can't celebrate until he's photographed standing in between Mourinho and Woody holding his #6 jersey. But I'm no longer holding my breath! Roll on 2016/17!
He's intellectually on another level. We just have to hope he doesn't concern himself too much with other clubs employees.
Returned from my vacation in time to watch us beat Leicester and saw the Pogba confirmation just before the start of the game. It's been a fecking brillint few hours.
I still can't believe Ibra is playing for us, let alone Pogba. Buzzing

Great news. So, who is next on the list now ?
So looking back to the fee/turnover figures that were posted ages ago and considering the fee as actually being £89m rather than £100m, that puts it at around 17.45% of our expected turnover for the year.
Last April someone tells you in 4 months time we'd have Mourinho in charge and signed Micky, Zlatan, Bailly and Pogba.
His right leg is basically worth what Edwards valued the club at in 1989.
Sorry if this has already been covered but what do you think Jose meant by "i will wait for him Tuesday"
That Tuesday is medical day? Or the first training session assuming he's confirmed tomorrow?

Mourinho's exact quote is:
So training on Tuesday if he's fit enough for the medical.
Training, I suppose. Btw, I see that Palmeri is out in full force claiming that ghe full price is 145m euro but United are playing it down
Mourinho won't be doing the medical, he'll be at the training ground, so I assume it'll be medical tomorrow, announced in the evening, and Pogba arrives at training on Tuesday.
Don't read too much into Mou's comments, he said he was informed about the announcement before match started but he was concentrating on the game itself and doesn't know about the details. Considering club has made the announcement and Pogba has completed his holiday, this should be wrapped up by tomorrow.
He's been claiming it's €145m for weeks. Now he either has to admit he was making it up or he has to claim United are lying...hmm I wonder which it is.Training, I suppose. Btw, I see that Palmeri is out in full force claiming that ghe full price is 145m euro but United are playing it down
That is my reading of it too. Possible we're not even training tomorrow, as we do get the odd day off.
Going to be a fun day tomorrow
Man i was up waiting on something exciting to happen today, i go to sleep and when i wake up i found out #Pogback and we actually well over 1000 pages.
This isn't naming and shaming or proving people wrong, but going through the first pages of this thread it's nice to see how many people wanted it to happen but thought it was impossible (I did too) given how things turned out 1000 pages later!
You're probably right.
But if tomorrow was announcement day, obvs Jose would need to be there for the photos/ statement and signing etc. So thought he may have said "I'll see him tomorrow" if that were the case
Still, doesn't really matter
It's the next day of training. He already said that we've got Monday off.
Can't blame them. I didn't believe it either.
I stand by that.
Gobsmacked, but delighted!!
I think we've been fortunate that Real and Barca haven't had the means this summer it seems.
As I do believe he would have gone to them over us.
Damn, I was OK with getting top 4 after we bought di Maria, now, I don't think I'd settle for anything less than top 2.
I'm delighted to have been proven wrong! I always wanted him to come back here, I'll be even more happy if the £89 million figure is true as well.
Delighted. Done and dusted as he arrives back from holidays. Onward and upward, roll on the season!!!
LVG was also intellectual but Mourinho additional has great self-awareness and attention to detail, every answer is calculated. Blaming the pitch for Fellaini mistake, explaining clearly why mata got subbed and diffusing that, LVG was never like that in conferences.
It does seem like the gap only will increase
Hopefully that is reflected in the CL as well in a couple of years..
