Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho refuses to discuss the possibility of Paul Pogba joining his side.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has refused to comment on speculation that the club has made a world-record offer to secure the transfer of Paul Pogba.

The 23-year-old left Old Trafford for Juventus for less than £1m just four years ago but is now the subject of a £100m offer to return to the North-West side.

"I don't confirm and I don't deny," Mourinho told reporters at a press conference this morning. "I cannot tell you.

"I don't think it is correct to speak about players of other clubs. My directors did a fantastic work to do 75% of the job I ask them to do. I gave them a few options. We have just 25% to do until August 31.

"We are in great conditions to have a great market. We are calm. We have three faces to fill the profile. I am confident Mr Woodward will get the player we need to get a good balance."

Juventus and United are expected to finalise the deal, which includes a further £8m in performance-related bonuses, within the coming days.
