Man Utd ready to smash world-record for Paul Pogba: He's keen to work under Jose Mourinho

MAKING A MOVE: Manchester United are ready to bid for Paul Pogba  
French daily L'Equipe say that Jose Mourinho is a big fan of the Juventus midfielder and wants to act on his interest.
United chief executive Ed Woodward has opened negotiations with the Italian giants and a bid is expected next week when the two sides are set for another meeting.
A lack of Champions League football at Old Trafford is said to be a serious negative for the Frenchman, but he is keen to work with Mourinho.
L'Equipe add that the Portuguese's long-standing interest in the player could also be a factor as he tried to sign him when managing Chelsea.
The deal could be a world-record transfer with Juventus hoping to eclipse an £86m fee for the former United player.
Pogba left United in 2012 after becoming upset with a lack of first-team football and headed to Turin at the end of his contract for a measly £800,000 in compensation.
Due to the vast transfer fee Pogba can expect a monster wage and L'Equipe say it will be a 'substantial financial package'.
United will not have it all their own way though as Real Madrid remain heavily interested in the Euro 2016 star.
But Pogba's representative Mino Raiola could tip the balance in United's favour.
The Dutch agent has a good working relationship with the Red Devils and is close to sealing deals for Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan to take them to the Theatre of Dreams.
At 23 years old Pogba is one of the brightest talents in Europe and looks destined for a huge future in the game.
A move for Pogba would show that United mean serious business and the report comes on the same day that murmurs from Spain say United are going all-guns blazing for Barcelona superstar Neymar.
