Manchester United must smash British record transfer fee to sign £78million-rated Juventus star Paul Pogba

Manchester United may have to pay a British record £78million for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba - four years after losing him for just £800,000. 

Italian outfit Juventus want to start a bidding war for Pogba and believe the France star is worth 100m euros (£78million). 

This is nearly 100 times the amount of compensation United received from Juventus when Pogba left on a Bosman in 2012, angry at his lack of first-team opportunities under Sir Alex Ferguson. 

The red devils are prepared to bankroll the deal because Jose Mourinho wants to rebuild United's midfield around him.
