"Anyone that's seen our team play over the last month, there's a pang because you can just feel what's coming. He's going to pick up right where he left off."

Manchester United have increased their bid for Juventus superstar Paul Pogba, with the fee now rumoured to be in excess of 100 million pounds including add-ons.

The deal would be a world-record move, with Pogba eager to return to the club he once called home.

The 23-year-old left Old Trafford back in 2012 after just seven appearances with United and regardless of the Manchester club not playing Champions League, Pogba reportedly has his heart set on a return to England.

If the deal gets pushed through, Pogba will stand to earn around 11 million pounds a year, plus incentives.

The signing would be the fourth major player Jose Mourinho has brought in since he took over at United, following deals for Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Pogba has won the Serie A four times along with the Coppa Italia twice in his 178 appearances for the Italian giants.
