Jose Mourinho has labelled Manchester United as the perfect club for Paul Pogba.

The Juventus star is set to undergo a medical with United ahead of completing a world record £89million (€105m) move to Old Trafford.

After guiding United to a 2-1 win over Leicester City in the Community Shield at Wembley on Sunday, Mourinho spoke of the Frenchman and what he is likely to bring to the United team.

"Finally. It's amazing that such a good player is with us. Finally we have him," said Mourinho.

"He comes to a winning side - a team who have won their last two matches, the FA Cup and today. He has to work hard to come (in)to the team.

"He (Pogba) is a fantastic player. If everything goes well he's a very important player but we have a great squad.

"I think United is the perfect club to bring him to the level that he wants to be.

"The Premier League is the perfect habitat for that. If you want to be the best player in the world I think if you go to Barcelona, to Real Madrid you are in trouble because I don't think the other big guys will let you into that level.

"Here he has the conditions - the most seen championship worldwide which is absolutely incredible, with a team that wants to bring Man United to the top again.

"So we have everything to give him and we know the reasons why he wanted to come to us. Money, he would get from many big clubs so that's not the point.

"He comes because he knows the club, he knows the city, he knows many of the players, he wants to be an important part of the Man United project so hopefully everything goes well and he comes to our team."
