The Frenchman has been a target for Real Madrid as well, but Los Blancos have been priced out of a deal for the Juventus midfielder.
Manchester United have finally agreed a fee with the Italian champions and the move should be completed this week. Pogba agreed personal terms with his former club a few weeks ago.
According to latest reports from Italy, the player is set to arrive in Manchester for an official photo-shoot and the deal should be announced later this week.
The world class Frenchman will be Mourinho’s fourth big signing at Old Trafford after Bailly, Ibrahimovic and Mkhitaryan.
