Man Utd boss Mourinho on Pogba: I have confidence in Woodward

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho will not rule out a move for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba.

United have already completed the signings of Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan this summer and Mourinho confirmed he still has '25 per cent' of his business to complete before transfer deadline day, suggesting at least one more signing is expected through the doors at Old Trafford.

"I don't confirm and I don't deny," said Mourinho. "I cannot tell you.

"I don't think it is correct to speak about players of other clubs. My directors did a fantastic work to do 75 per cent of the job I ask them to do. I gave them a few options. We have just 25 per cent to do until 31 August.

"We are in great conditions to have a great market. We are calm. We have three faces to fill the profile. I am confident Mr Woodward will get the player we need to get a good balance."
