He'll make his debut at Old Trafford, first home game, sub him on in the last 10 minutes.

Everything about this transfer has been so carefully managed for maximum marketing potential, I cannot see it being any other way.

yeah, looks thats way.

Winning the game yesterday has ensured that we enter the season with absolute top momentum and confidence. Pogba's arrival into the training pitch will give further bounce.

Its all small details, something Mourinho is very famous for.
 
If everything goes well with the medical and he's back in training tomorrow, then I can see him being on the bench at Bournemouth on Sunday.

If he's as fit as he seems to be, then it's really not much of a gamble.

I knew Pogba had a mother.

When Pogba arrived first from Le Havre, a poster - I forget who - reported meeting him and his Mom in a pub. There was already a bit of hype about Pog and the poster asked him and his Mom to pose for a photograph, which they were delighted to do. It may have been the first time it had ever happened! I remember the poster joking: "I hope he makes it now!"

I bet he's having the pic framed and hung on his wall as we speak. Unless he burned it when Pogba deserted us :smirk:
 
I was wondering, at the medical do you also get your teeth checked? Ear hole inspection? Finger up the bum even?

I do think the whole apprehensions regarding lack of pre-season are overblown. He's a young, elite athlete who's in stellar shape. Its not like he's having to prepare for a NASA space mission, giving him a run around on Sunday isn't going to disastrous. And considering our midfield woes I expect him to be amongst the very first names on the teamsheet very soon, possibly as soon as the Southampton game the week after.

Exactly, Fergie said Rooney got through his debut on adrenaline and he didn't do too bad! Robin van Persie was also lacking fitness when he joined and was up and running by game two so i am sure Pogba will be fine getting some minutes on Sunday and then starting against Southamton.

I have no idea what you are talking about mate :confused: Pogba came up through the United academy and went on loan to Juve for a year two for a bit of polish didn't he? Or am I confused?
 
I don't find Souness's assessment of United that bad (or bias) most of the time to be fair. I even heard him refer to us as a classy club after a game last season. I think he's relatively similar to Hansen in the sense of despite being a ex-Liverpool player he remains relatively objective in his punditry.
 
If the rumours are true that we are paying £30m a season for 3 years, then it really wasn't a case of Real not being able to afford him was it? More that they didn't think he was worth a world record fee.

I don't think he's particularly biased, he's just a feckwit.

I don't mind Souness compared to the other members of the Scouse Media Mafia, but like most of them he tends to be nicer to us the worse we're doing.

At the age of 16 we bought him from Le Havre I think.
 
He should absolutely be starting against Southampton. We play City in 4 weeks and he should at least have 1-2 full 90 minute games before that.

Seems a strange place to meet a teenage footballer & his mum who are both new to this country.
 
Didn't Di Maria go straight into the starting 11 after just few days against Burnley? If Pogba trains with us for 2-3 times then he will start i think.

Oh I agree, jose does need to replace carrick, and another alongside him, which means morgan, fellaini and herrera are not quiet to what Jose is looking for, 2017/18 season I would hope Mourinho adds 2 more CM players, move pogba has a no10 or like the lampard role so we get the full max out of pogba. So I feel next season we will get the real Jose Mourinho team, think Jose does not want to come in and rip apart the squad. I feel next season he will get the team he is looking for, as he phases out rooney and carrick, and moves on the likes of morgan, fellaini, and herrera, also

I think he will give the current midfielders a chance to claim a spot for next season too.

A Carrick replacement will be something he has started looking to get, as no one in the squad offers that.

The bolded part is important, we cant keep ripping up everything with every new manager. Jose seems to be giving a chance to most of the team.

£30m a season? :confused: Is that how the transfer fee payment is structured?
 
Summit said:
Yeah I think he means that he'll see him at training on Tuesday, not that he will be announced on that day.

Have we or any other club ever done that? Player trains before officially signing?

Mourinho knows his medical, and all the official signing is today, so knows after we announce he will be at training tomorrow.
 
I wonder when this will be announced. Any chance of it happening today guys?

Thought u were implying announcement would be later, can train tuesday without announcing.
 
I think we should invite fans and media to Carrington tomorrow to unveil him and have a poor little Manc child run into Pogba's arms.
