Four years after making his Premier League debut – Paul Pogba set for Manchester United return in Community Shield clash

JOSE MOURINHO is desperate to land Paul Pogba within the next 48 hours so he can prepare the £112million man for Manchester United’s upcoming Community Shield final clash against Leicester.

The midfielder is on the brink of signing a staggering £290,000-a-week deal to join Old Trafford just four years after leaving for Juventus.

Pogba will undergo his medical in LA after agreeing personal terms and the deal could be made official as early as Friday.

Mourinho is determined for Pogba to join up with his new teammates sooner rather than later and wants him available for the clash against Premier League champions Leicester on August 8.

The 23-year-old made his professional debut in 2011 after coming on as a half-time substitute in the League Cup victory over Leeds before making his Premier League bow against Stoke in January 2012.

After the 2-0 victory over the Potters, former United boss Sir Alex Ferguson said: "Pogba did really well when he came on.

"You can't believe he is only 18-years-old. We're negotiating his contract, but it's a bit complicated because he's changed his agent."

In a remarkable journey, the Frenchman left swapped Old Trafford for Juventus for nothing in 2012 which has been described as one of Ferguson's biggest mistakes.

The powerful midfielder has since gone on to establish a world class reputation with dominating performances for the Old Lady.

The signing is likely to be the last piece to Mourinho's jigsaw following the additions of Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Eric Bailly and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
