The reality is that United and City play different brands of football.

United have always played up and at em, hit them on the break, lots of crosses coming in the box, emotional football. City have played under Mancini, MP and no doubt even more so under Pep, controlled, cerebral football.

Pogba from what I have seen is an athletic, long range passer who will fit into their style well. But when I watched him playing for France who played more like us he was standing around a lot doing nowt. Doesn't seem like a Barca footballer to me. He's neither Xavi, Iniesta nor Busquets. The comaprisons with Yaya seem daft. Yaya keeps hold of the ball a la Busquets, passes like Xavi. He could and did play or Barca.

Pep didn't fancy him end of. He'll improve United. But they must be thinking how come their greatest ever manager cost them 100 million quid.

Let's have it right. He's going my to cost them well over that with agent fees, wages etc. some reckon it could be double that figure. I've even heard someone saying in total it will be over £300m for one player. Obscene.
 
What's holding this up I take it the rags are trying to spread the payments over 300years! Or does he just not fancy it! Everything we are being told is done so wat is holding it up?
 
I'm hoping it's being held up because he just doesn't want to go there and it is his agent who is pushing the deal, which is reasonably likely. I can see this being very similar to the Di Maria deal where he will go to Madrid or PSG in a year for a lot less than United paid.

Hopefully waiting for the perfect time to let them know that Madrid have come in with an offer and he is signing for them. Or knowing the rags they will want to time the announcement with the fact that they have signed up a sponsor in Mauritius to maximise the exposure

It'll be a bit embarrassing if they fail to get this one over the finishing line. £100 million for a guy no one else will touch at the price, £55 million five year contract net of tax and £20 million 'fixers fee' to to his agent and it's still not signed.
