Juventus's French midfield star Paul Pogba looks set to be the subject of a 100-million-pound bid by his former club, English Premier League giants Manchester United, British media reported Wednesday.

The 23-year-old will cost United dear as he left them for Juventus for nothing in July 2012 after making just a handful of appearances prompting then manager Alex Ferguson to slam him for showing no respect to the club. Pogba was an integral part of the France side that reached the Euro 2016 final although his performance in the 1-0 loss to Portugal received a panning. However, the present United regime are prepared to let bygones be bygones and throw money at Pogba, who has played a crucial role for Juventus in their dominance of the domestic scene in the past few seasons.

His arrival would complete new manager Jose Mourinho's spending for the upcoming season. The usually well-informed Daily Mail suggests that United will lodge a bid on Wednesday and that senior players are confident Pogba will be returning to the club, whilst The Daily Mirror says United are closing in on the playmaker terming him the "100-million-pound man."
