Man United 'will get most of the money they paid for Paul Pogba back'

Manchester United can expect to recoup most of the world-record fee they paid for Paul Pogba in commercial revenue the midfielder generates, according to a leading football financial expert.

The Frenchman’s return to Old Trafford from Juventus for €104m was sealed in the early hours of yesterday morning after weeks of social media teasers and speculation.

The 23-year-old signed a five-year deal with Mourinho’s side and the impact of the adidas-sponsored midfielder’s arrival is expected to stretch beyond the pitch in terms of financial gains too.
