If manchester united decided to really sign pogba with this huge amount then they are setting up a new world transfer record for themselves. This seems to be an irony knowing that pogba was originally one of their own as player from their academy before they decided to sell him up to juventus
One of Alex Ferguson's biggest mistakes was selling Pogba. Now they are literally paying for it. I think there's more to it than willing to pay for an over priced midfielder. Being able to set the transfer record away from Real would be some sort of achievement too. And not to mention a lot more money to be made in TV rights, especially that it's in the EPL. Premier League clubs tend to get more in TV rights compared to other leagues. Also Pogba shirts/jerseys should be selling like pancakes. Basically there's also the business side of things when pursuing Pogba.
Fergie did not sell Pogba, but he let it go for free and Juventus is a lucky team to take Pogba and give him more opportunities to play. Now he is improved so fast and many teams want to buy him, but Juve ask for overrated price in order to keep Pogba to stay at Juventus Stadium.
Yes you are correct. Anyway that makes it even worse. But during that time I think Fergie let him go because he thinks Pogba didn't respect United enough to be worthy in the club. Or so that's what the articles said. You can't blame Fergie. He's a man who demands respect as he should be.
