Looking at the new picture of Ed and Mou added with the pics from the official presentation of Mourinho as the new manager I think it's pretty evident that Ed just got a massive crush on Mourinho.
 


Mino Raiola will meet with Paul Pogba in Miami today
Paul Pogba will meet with his agent Mino Raiola in Miami today to discuss the player’s future, according to France Football.

Mino Raiola actually arrived in Miami on Saturday but has spent time with his other half for the weekend, and has yet to see his French international client.

Paul Pogba has been spending time with Antoine Griezmann on the exclusive Hibiscus Island, a neighbourhood where American football stars like Chad Johnson and NBA players including Clint Capela.

Pogba and Raiola will meet today. Why has the player’s deal not been completed to Manchester United yet?

In the last few days, according to multiple Spanish reports and confirmed to GFFN, Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has been in touch with Pogba about a move to Los Blancos…

Careful of their own salt added on at the end of the article. Also they fail to mention that the France Football article specifically says Raiola is meeting Pogba to finalise the Manchester United deal. FF say nothing about Real at all.

Paul Pogba / Signed, Sealed and Delivered!

Weren't there photos of Raiola and Pogba together in Miami the other day, supposedly showing Raiola yelling at Pogba for getting photographed smoking an e-cigarette?

It is very relevant. First of all because it hits Paul Scholes as a supporter. The club he loves has lost a player with great potential because he wasn't given space in our team. Paul Scholes may wonder if Pogba would have still left if he remained in retirement + he would be furious with the boy for not fighting for his first team place (these are people who think that Manchester United is the centre of the universe and that anything beyond not succeeding there is a failure).

It also hits him as a SAF's loyal disciple. Believe it or not, PS is SAF's most loyal disciple. Unlike Giggs and Gaz Paul Scholes didn't had any agents. When Moratti enquired about the guy, he ended up speaking with SAF who told him to stick his offer in an inappropriate place. Paul Pogba is the living embodiment of SAF's rare but biggest feckup. We're actually buying our talent back for 100m because the manager (Paul Scholes idol) preferred to stick to his golden oldies (which also include PS) than to this kid. For us, its not really that bad to admit that SAF messed up. He's the single most important person in this club's history but he's still human after all. However these people owe everything to the man, he made them the stars they are now and lead them to multiple victories. Basically they owe him everything and they can't stomach that he might have messed up big time.

Finally it challenges the very concept of the United way. The class of 92 have this romantic view of that period and think that United were lead by some knight in shining armour who would rather lose trophies then not giving youths a chance. Its unthinkable for them that SAF would rather lose a top quality but inexperienced talent and rely on his old guard just to end his career on high. This mentality is ironically highlighted by the Keano-SAF spat which is brilliantly described in one of SAF's books. At one point, Keane looked at SAF and told him that he had changed and he wasn't the man Keano idolised anymore. SAF admitted that he had to change else he wouldn't keep on winning. That is something I believe that the class of 92 have yet to fully comprehend. The SAF who gave them their shot wasn't the same SAF's of Pogba's time.

A very interesting take, and a good post, but I think it's far more simplistic and out of context.

I think what Scholes was thinking was that Pogba isn't worth that much money, with more emphasis on the money rather than the quality of the player. He said Messi was worth that kind of money. And, put simply, he's both right and wrong.

He's Right, in the sense that the money being thrown around in modern football this transfer season is, basically, insanity.

He's Wrong, in the sense that, in the current climate, we could get that level player for what we're allegedly getting Pogba for. With Higuan going for close to 100, Deeney being valued over 35 and apparently United got rebuffed for Ighalo for 30 last January, what is someone like Bale, Suarez or Neymar really worth in this market? Pogba's price is set by the market.

Regardless, Sometimes it's easy to get a bit annoyed with Scholes' media persona. Didn't he say only a couple of weeks ago that United needed to buy Pogba? Now that's apparently getting sorted he's complaining about it?

And @Pexbo has it all figured out. Remember Theo Griezmann's tweet? Seems Pogba's been hanging out with Antoinne...It's a done deal folks

Yeah. The great thing about CJ is that while he is an attention whore, he worked damn hard as a player and didn't just rely on his talent, and he also pushed the players around him to work harder. Hopefully Pogba takes a leaf out of that book.

CJ has always loved his futbol too. Probably a huge muppet!

Was a subsequently deleted message from Antoine genuine? If so, where was it again? Twatter or Insta?
 
Remember when Jorge Mendes was going to run our transfer window this summer?
 
With Woodward touching down in Manchester tomorrow and Riaola meeting up with Pogba today, I expect us things to become clear by the end of the week, whichever way it goes.

What does slightly confuse me though is that if the only stumbling block was Riaola's fee, why would Rialoa be flying out to Miami to meet Pogba? If it is true that Pogba and United agreed personal terms a good while ago then why would a meeting between Pogna and Riaola be necessary now of all times?

I suppose it's all just guess work, I'm quietly confident that the deal will go through.
 
One of the absolutely strangest things to me about this thread is the almost complete lack of discussion about the quality of Pogba, possible formations, how he would fit (or fail to fit) into the current side. Instead, it's mostly obsessions with suddenly Real Madrid knocking United out like a CIA drone strike or, bizarrely, the thread count. At least graphic descriptions of male self gratification aren't the flavour of the moment, although I'm sure that'll be back in fashion soon. [Sighs]

Well, what can I say? Each one of us has his opinion.

I believe that Mou is being brave bringing in Pogba for a record buy. This deal puts SAF in a very bad light and many pundits and ex players who idolise the man won't like that. There again I feel that Mou threw the gauntlet the day he allowed Giggs to go rather then offering him an assistant manager's role.
 
The rest of this ish is EXTREMELY frustrating and unprofessional (by the non-social media outlets) and I've grown weary of it.

I've been a sports fan for 39 years and this is one of the craziest stories I've ever watched. This is some WWE level drama.

No point in that until he's ours. It's all about the deal of the century now.

It makes sense that his agent will be with him while the deal is finalised.

Raiola won't just sort this deal out, he'll then start organising the logistics for Pogba - remember he's about to move countries and he's Paul's lawyer. There's going to be an absolute shit tonne of work to do.

It was reported as being Raiola, but his face was blocked by an umbrella. I don't think any of the pics showed his face at all, so it's possible it wasn't him. On the other hand, everyone else in that set of photos were young fit people (guys and the scantily clad ladies), so the fat old white dude did kind of stand out. Probably either the players' agent or the ladies' "agent".

Must have been a big umbrella

I respect your opinion, I just think Scholes' outlook is a bit more old school. I just don't think he's defending Fergie's approach so fervently, in this case. Like I mentioned earlier, I'm pretty sure Scholes said United should buy Pogba, specifically, really recently. That sort of throws a spanner in the works of your theory, IMO.
