I persuaded Lukaku To Come To United -Pogba

The French midfielder has been friends with the Belgian for some time and played a part in bringing the striker to Old Trafford in a £75 million deal

Paul Pogba put “long work” into getting Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United, with dinner chats helping to put a £75 million deal in place.

The French midfielder has been friends with the Belgian for some time and would regularly catch up with the striker after returning to England from Juventus last summer.

With Lukaku at north west rivals Everton, the pair were able to meet up and discuss a range of topics – including a potential switch to Old Trafford.

Pogba told Copa 90’s 'FIFA and Chill' show: “I had been preparing for this – it was long work.
“I took him to dinner and I talked to him [about Manchester United]. “I had to work for it but the finale is that he’s here, he’s here with us and he’s banging in the goals.

“He’s a player who knows the Premier League well and can help us a lot.”
