Sanchez 1 good season in portugal and 3 games in euros for 80 million euros (68 million pounds) is better than 4 time seria winner, champions league finalist and a fixture in a talented france squad for 80-100 million. Erm?

As I said though, based on what we've seen in the Euro's, it would be a struggle to suggest that Pogba is the better option.

Yes, I know that's a stupidly tiny sample of games to base any such judgement on, but since we're into it, I've always thought there was something of the 'Emperors new clothes' syndrome about Pogba. He's absolutely brilliant, the best midfielder in the world! He must be, because everyone keeps saying it - despite the fact that more often than not when I've watched him he looks decidedly mediocre - strolling around the pitch looking disinterested for large chunks of the average game, while spraying the occasional hollywood pass to keep the illusion of genius alive for a little longer. I used to think substantially the same thing when I used to watch him playing for our reserves, and wasn't overly sad when he left - which does seem to put me in a minority of one I'll admit!

So yeah, I'd have been happier with Sanches had he wanted to come, rather than a player who's already demonstrated in the past that he doesn't want to be a United player (by actually leaving!) and who, if he returns, will only be coming back here for the money, doubtless counting down the years on his contract until he can force a move once again.

He did want to be a United player! But he wanted to be a United player in the first team.

Yeah, it's when a young player turns down a new contract and joins a team in Serie A that you can really see their commitment to United! In all seriousness, the rights and wrongs of SAF's handling of Pogba has been done to death, so lets not bore anyone by getting into it again!
 
The beIN article just refers to L'Equipe and Skysports. Don't know if it changes anything really.

Pogba to Manchester United, it is getting more precise.

Wanted by Jose Mourinho. Paul Pogba has given his agreement for a return to Manchester United. The french national midfielder could become the most expensive player in history.

For the rest the article says Poga has told his close friends and confidents in the french team he is open to a return to Manchester United. It goes further saying that Woodward has met with Raiola on monday to discuss the transfer and has agreed the big lines of a contract and discussed a strategy to convince Juventus to sell. It then goes on saying the proposed 80 million euro to open the talks are likely not going to be sufficient and that Juventus will want atleast 100 million euro for Pogba. It also says Pogba could end up earning around 350.000 euros per week at Manchester United, which is 18 million per year, making him by far the highest earner in the EPL.

The title saying " getting into the finer details"
The article itself saying despite zizou wanting the player, to follow in his footsteps from juve to Madrid, it's not share by the board.
It's more and more likely that pogba will be back in Manchester after 4 years. L'equipe very close the French team heard from some players that he has made up his mind to go back to United.

The rest of the article talk about the fee

Completing the deal will only add to the frustration that United let Pogba leave Old Trafford for free as an 18-year-old in 2012, having brought him through their academy.

Since joining Juventus, he has gone on to win four league titles, becoming one of the world's best players and the hottest property currently on the market.

If Real are to step up their chase, the Italian giants must reduce their asking price, but they are helped by the mutual respect between Pogba and coach Zinedine Zidane, arguably France's greatest ever player.
