Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho feels Paul Pogba has everything required to become a superstar at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils secured the services of Pogba following his £89-million return to Old Trafford with an additional £4.2-million in possible add-ons.

The 53-year-old manager is clearly delighted with his fourth major acquisition since taking charge and defended any criticism over the size of the fee.

‘I know the discussion, I understand that sometimes in football, things happen and the club breaks the record, but this is only possible at clubs like Man United,’ Mourinho said.

Mourinho went on to praise the talented Frenchman insisting that he has everything but he still has to learn to work with the team and in the team.

‘But he’s a very young player, an unbelievable midfield player with such physicality but, at the same time, such agility, co-ordination, skill. He has everything.

‘What he has to learn now is how to play with us because I always say that in football you can be a super player, like he is, but a team is a team and you need to learn how to play in the team, and the team needs to learn how to play with you.

The 23-year-old has been with Juventus for four seasons, making 124 appearances and netted 28 goals. He joined the Bianconeri from United in 2012. The midfielder has been capped by France on 38 occasions, scoring six goals and was a member of the recent squad that reached the final of Euro 2016.

Manchester United face Bournemouth in their opening Premier League clash at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday.

Kick-off has been set for 14:30.
