You have to hand it to Jose. After several years of fumbling around for star signings, the new Manchester United boss has shown that he is not only a great manager but a manager with a great allure.<\/p>\n

He’s brought one of the top ten players in world football to the club. Zlatan may be 35 in October but he just banged in 50 goals for PSG in a single season and he’s a monster of a man – no worries there then.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Henrikh Mkhitaryan is a player who top Premier League clubs wanted and the selling club were desperate to keep, even if it meant losing him for nothing in a year. <\/p>\n

The midfielder\/winger has hit 84 goals in his last 240 club games – a record that would make many a top centre forward weep with envy – and could be a show stopper for Manchester United next season.<\/p>\n

Eric Bailly has all the attributes to be a top defender. He’s utterly tenacious, quick and powerful. The expectation is that he can give ten years of service to the club. But we have a hunch that he will start at right-back. <\/p>\n

But Jose mentioned ‘Four priorities’ in terms of transfers and most believe that the fourth target is Paul Pogba<\/a>. <\/p>\n

There is little doubt that Pogba could drive the next great Manchester United team to success with his skill and dynamism that makes Yaya Toure look like a very talented but inanimate object. <\/p>\n

And perhaps Manchester United will show more desire to get the player than Real Madrid. <\/p>\n

If this fourth signing comes off we have no doubt that Manchester United will win the league in Jose’s first season.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday Mourinho told the press that Wayne Rooney will play in attack next season. This suggests to us that Jose will stick with his 4-2-3-1 formation that has served him so well down the years.<\/p>\n

And this would be the most likely line up, according to TFF. Let’s have your thoughts. Is this the best XI with Pogba? <\/p>\n
