Arsene Wenger comments on Manchester United's signing of Paul Pogba again

Arsene Wenger has admitted that Paul Pogba “ticks all the boxes” for Manchester United following his big-money transfer to Old Trafford this week.

Pogba’s world record transfer fee has raised plenty of eyebrows, especially considering that United let him leave to join Juventus back in the summer of 2012 for next to nothing.


However, Wenger believes that the 23-year-old France international will end up being a top signing for Jose Mourinho’s side ahead of the return of the Premier League this weekend.

Wenger told Sky Sports: “The value of a player is dependent on his talent, the expected strengthening of the team, his age and of course his resale value.

“When you speak about Pogba, it ticks all these boxes – but we are in a system that we don’t master. We have to follow the prices paid by other people.

“That has gone up because the availability of money is much higher. That’s why we may have crossed the £100m bar for the first time.”
