Paul Pogba to Manchester United: Jose Mourinho feels the heat as Mino Raiola DENIES deal is done for French superstar

JOSE MOURINHO looks to be feeling the heat after super-agent Mino Raiola sensationally denied that Manchester United have secured the signing of Paul Pogba.

It’s been widely reported that the Red Devils have swooped for the Frenchman in a stunning £105million move, making him the world’s most expensive player.

Mourinho appeared at ease this morning as he spoke to journalists about the situation, claiming that United’s board have completed '75 per cent' of their job in the summer transfer market.

But The Special One will surely be anxious to hear that Ed Woodward is yet to seal Pogba’s return to Old Trafford.

The United chief has been locked in talks with Juventus all week, and a deal is believed to have been agreed.

But Pogba’s agent Raiola – who oversaw Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s free transfer to the Theatre of Dreams – has stirred the pot by claiming a move has not been concluded.
