Paul Pogba said "the time is right to go back to Old
Trafford" after completing his world-record £89m transfer
to Manchester United.
The 23-year-old midfielder returns after four years away,
having left United for Juventus for £1.5m in 2012.
Pogba, who signed a five-year deal, added: "This is the right
club for me to achieve everything I hope to."
Manager Jose Mourinho said the France international could
be "the heart of the club" for the next decade.
United will pay the Italian champions 105m euros for Pogba,
plus 5m euros (£4.5m) in performance-related bonuses and
other costs, including 5m euros if Pogba signs a new
contract.
It surpasses the £85m that Real Madrid paid Tottenham for
Wales forward Gareth Bale in 2013.
The announcement was made by United just after 00:30
BST on Tuesday, with a glossy video showing the player -
with a red devil marked into his hair - emerging from the
shadows.
