Manchester United have reportedly agreed a whopping £102m deal in principle to re-sign France international superstar Paul Pogba this summer, according to AS (via the Express).

The Premier League giants, who lifted the 2016 FA Cup under former boss Louis van Gaal, but could only finish fifth in the English top-flight standings last term, have been heavily linked with a move for the highly-rated Juventus midfielder.

The 23-year-old, who is currently with the France national squad as they prepare to face Portugal on Sunday night in the final of EURO 2016 in his homeland, scored 10 goals and provided 16 assists in 49 appearances in all competitions for the Serie A champions last season.

Pogba, who left Old Trafford back in 2012 after rejecting a new deal, could be offered a whopping long-term contract worth £220,000-a-week from new Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho.

The report suggests that United have begun talks over a sensational £102m package for the Frenchman’s services with the player’s agent, Mino Raiola, who is a familiar face behind the scenes at the Premier League outfit having overseen the recently confirmed transfers of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrik Mkhitaryan.

    He’s the good player but way over hyped, even for United that is ridiculous sum it not like they’re buying Ronaldo or Messi

    Stupid deal. How can he worthy that sum of money. United are show sign of fear in the quest to form a strong team because of Manchester City. Why. We should be and remain United.

    It’s very expensive. He has not won any international competition so why paying so much.

    I think that is a punishment for letting him go on a free transfer…. he deserves that big amount of money
