£100m would be money well spent on Man Utd target Pogba - Neville

Phil Neville is of the belief that £100million is the right price for Paul Pogba.

Manchester United are set to break the world-record transfer fee to sign the French midfielder from Juventus and former Red Devil Neville feels the cost is not too exorbitant for the famous club.

The ex-United and Everton midfielder/defender was asked by Sky Sports News HQ if he believes the price tag would be money well spent by the Old Trafford outfit, to which he replied:"I think so.

"I think you are getting one of the best midfield players in the world.

"I think you are getting someone who is not going to dominate a game on the ball like a Xabi Alonso or a Paul Scholes but is going to go from box to box.

"His physicality is always something that has stood out. Even when he was younger at the academy at Man United, he was always bigger than everybody else, he was always quicker than everybody else, he was always more powerful.

"He will give the Man United midfield that power and that stature that I think they have missed for the last two or three seasons."
