Ince: Pogba Would Be ‘Perfect Signing’

Former Manchester United player Paul Ince has described Paul Pogba as a perfect signing for United, and said that the Frenchman would suit English football more than Spanish.

Reports across the globe have confirmed that Manchester United chief executive Ed Woodward has begun negotiations with Juventus over the possible transfer of Pogba, who left Old Trafford in 2012 on a free transfer.

Now rated as one of the best in the world, the midfielder is linked with a £100 million move back to Old Trafford, and Ince says that the transfer would send out a big statement to the rest of the footballing world.


“Sir Alex Ferguson would have been disappointed to have lost him at such a young age,” Ince told Sky Sports News HQ. “But I think his style of football will suit the Premier League more than the Spanish league.”

“I remember when I first went to Inter Milan in Serie A and I was that kind of aggressive player and every time I made a tackle I was getting booked, that was frustrating.”

“So Pogba now coming into a league where it is tough, where he can show what he’s all about, I think is a perfect fit for him and for Man United.”

“Who he plays alongside, whether it’s [Michael] Carrick, [Morgan] Schneiderlin or [Bastian] Schweinsteiger – I don’t know. But if United can get Pogba then that sends out the signal that we are really going for it this year.”

Ince also believes Ryan Giggs has made the “right decision” in leaving Manchester United after 29 years to pursue a career in management.

“For me, he has to go out and learn his trade, show that he can manage,” Ince added.

“It doesn’t have to be a club that is going to spend millions to be successful. I suspect clubs around October and November time will come calling for Giggs.”

“What he has to do is be prepared and get his right staff behind him. There is no doubt in my mind that he will be a top manger.”

“It would have been easy for Ryan to stay at Manchester United and not have any pressures. Mourinho said it was a brave decision but I believe it was the right decision.”
