Manchester United's record signing Paul Pogba wants to win the Premier League title this term.

Manchester United summer recruit Paul Pogba has revealed ambitions to win the Premier League this season.

The Frenchman, who rejoined the club from Juventus in a world-record £89m deal, is expected to make his second debut for the Red Devils against Southampton at the weekend.

"I am just happy to play football. I don't even think about [the transfer fee]. It has happened, it is behind me, I am just looking to win the league," the Manchester Evening News quotes Pogba as saying.

"My ambition is always be the number one and be the best. So the objective is to win the league. We want to go back to the Champions League because that is where we belong."

Pogba sat out of United's 3-1 win over Bournemouth on the opening day of the season through suspension, a result of the two yellow cards he picked up in last term's successful Coppa Italia campaign with Juve.
