It’s finally official – Paul Pogba has returned to Manchester United

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! It's finally over!

It dragged and it dragged and it dragged... and it dragged, but one of the longest-running transfer sagas in recent memory has finally ended. Manchester United have secured the return of Paul Pogba for the princely sum of €105m, plus performance-related bonuses and other costs. Pogba has signed on for a five-year deal at the club. This record-breaking transfer fee sees the 23-year-old become the world's most expensive footballer, surpassing Gareth Bale, whom Real Madrid purchased for €100m in 2013. https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/762796857747726337 The starlet returns to Old Trafford after four years away, having made the swap from United to Juventus for a measly €1.7m in 2012. His first official words as a United player (the second time around) will give Red Devils hope for the future.

"This is the right club for me to achieve everything I hope to in the game."

The Frenchman's parting words to his old club was one of the cheesiest break-up lines invented since the "it's not you, it's me" line became hackneyed. https://twitter.com/paulpogba/status/762792798819127297 Listen to the GAA Hour football show – Wooly is joined by Paul Galvin, Aidan O’Shea, Senan Connell and Conán Doherty. Subscribe here on iTunes.
