Why did Man Utd agree to break the record to buy Pogba?

In 1975, the peaceful country of Italy was suddenly shaken by a transfer contract: Giuseppe Savoldi from Bologna to Napoli for 1.2 million pounds.

The question is `Is Pogba worth that price?`.

Before Pogba, also this summer, the football world witnessed Gonzalo Higuain being recruited by Juventus for $99 million, making him the third most expensive player in the world.

Pogba’s price belongs to the rules of football – the cruel rules of the money game that have revalued this sport.

In a time when football superstars are scarce, Pogba is emerging as the most likely player to challenge the Messi – Ronaldo duo.

So why is Pogba honored as the first person to reach the 100 million pound mark?

Looking across the football industry, tycoons cannot buy anyone significant.

The issue of expertise is not the key point that led to the huge price for Pogba.

Pogba’s return, in a record deal, is a statement from Man Utd to the football world, that they are still a big man.

Three years after saying goodbye to Alex Ferguson, the Man Utd ship sailed in darkness.
