The France international, who left United to join Juventus in 2012 on a free transfer, returned to Old Trafford in the summer transfer window for a world record £89m fee.

The midfielder has been a regular in Jose Mourinho’s team since his arrival, but he had a quiet day in last weekend’s 2-1 defeat to Manchester City.

Ibrahimovic is confident that his teammate will make his doubters eat their words.

“All the jealous people who talk about him will swallow all of the words they have said about him,” Eurosport quotes Ibrahimovic as saying. “He will only improve and will get everyone behind him.”

Meanwhile, United are preparing for Thursday’s Europa League group match against Feyenoord.

Juventus & Man UTD Agree World Record Fee for Paul Pogba

The French International will become the most expensive player in the world, surpassing the fee paid by Real Madrid to sign Gareth Bale.

 

This summer’s transfer saga seems to have come to an end, as reports from Italy and England suggest Manchester United and Juventus have agreed a record-breaking fee for French midfielder Paul Pogba.

 

The Sun & L’Equipe reported earlier today that negotiations have been going on all day long, and finally a deal was reached between the two football giants. Paul Pogba will become the most expensive player in football history after Manchester United agreed to pay Juventus €120 million for the player’s services.

One more unconfirmed report suggested that Pogba had told his landlord he would vacate his home in the next few days.

According to L’Equipe, Pogba will travel to Manchester to agree personal terms. When that happens, the deal will be announced officially. Reports suggest that the French star will ask for at least £220,000 a week for the next five years.

The midfielder will return to Old Trafford four years after his departure. Pogba decided to leave Manchester United back then due to the lack of first-team opportunities granted by then-coach Sir Alex Ferguson.

A record-breaking report such as this made fans go wild on social media. Here are some of their best comments.
