As much as I hate to admit it, Pogba is an amazing get. The most sought after property in football was bought by a club that doesn't have CL. No other club in England could've pulled it off.
It's a very good get. Mou usually starts with a bang, anything less than a league title and a cup will be a failure for him this season with the squad he has assembled.

In fariness to United they've signed Zlatan & Pogba for a combined 110m which is probably still just a bit over their worth, but will recoup about 30-40m in revenue from them to alone so the real cost of signing celebrity players for slightly over their worth is a smart decision for a club like United

How will they recoup 30-40mil? Take out the fact that jersey sales etc don't work that way, you're forgetting these guys are on a fair whack wage.

Commercial revenues from ad appearances, shirt sales, next time sponsorhsip contracts are up they'll be getting more than they would if they just signed Matuidi or Lacazette because of the worldwide exposure these two players bring.

I hope United pay the absurd fee quoted for Flogba
