Both Paul Pobga and Andre Gomes have been in Mourinho’s wishlist ever since his arrival at Manchester United. But Pogba seems to be more of an attraction to the Portuguese manager.
The 23-year-old has become one of the hottest names in world football after leaving Manchester United as a youngster to Juventus. He has been a prominent player for the Italian champions throughout these years and is now being chased by the biggest clubs in football, but only a few can afford him due to the heavy price tag. His departure from the club has been one of the biggest regret for the fans. His dribbling and long passing has won the hearts of fans all around the world.
Andre Gomes, on the other hand, isn’t much of hype as Pogba but is definitely building up to be a world-class midfielder. The Portuguese footballer is one of the best players in his team and is tipped to have a lot of potential in him. Andre Gomes can also be a terrific signing for Manchester United if the deal for the ex-Red Devil doesn’t go their way. His versatility in midfield is an asset to the team.

Both Pogba and Gomes have done wonders in their respective leagues, but statistically and also practically, Paul Pogba has performed much better, and not only in the last season but in the previous few seasons as well. Hence, the massive price tag.
The club and the fans should be delighted if anyone of them is signed this summer.
