Man Utd boss Mourinho ‘waiting with open arms’ for Pogba

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho says he is ‘waiting with open arms’ for Paul Pogba, with the Juventus midfielder on the verge of a move to Old Trafford.

Pogba are set to pay a world record £89m (105m euros) transfer fee for the 23-year-old.

“If he comes I’ll be waiting for him, with open arms of course,” Mourinho said after guiding United to a 2-1 win over Leicester City in the Community Shield at Wembley.

If Pogba does join United, he’ll be their fourth summer signing after defender Eric Bailly, midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan and striker Zlatan Ibrahimović.

“Hopefully Bailly, Mkhitaryan, Pogba and Zlatan is a market of being the spine of the team,” said Mourinho.
