#FootballNews : Juventus 'stalling on Paul Pogba deal' until they get a ready-made replacement
The 18-year-old midfield prodigy was on the radar of Europe's top clubs prior his Euro 2016-winning exploits this summer.
As it turned out, it was Bayern Munich who won the race to sign the youngster from Benfica, paying an initial £28m in a deal that could rise to £35m if performance-related add-ons are met.
But, for Jose Mourinho, it was the case of the one who got away, and in an interview with Sport TV, he explained why.
He said: "I arrived [at
Manchester United] late. I signed in May, we started talking a week
before, but completely out of the process. If I had arrived earlier, I’d
fight for him.
“Manchester United watched Renato many times and maybe I did it even more. In so much time at home, I watched many Benfica and Portuguese league games, I got to know the boy better with time.
“He’s in a a big club, in a league where he’ll certainly be the champion. The club have players of very high level which belong to the structure, a little like Benfica.”

England U17 international Josh
Bohui appears to have finally completed his transfer to Manchester
United from Brentford, and has joined up with Nicky Butt's U19 squad
that will compete in the forthcoming Otten Cup in Holland.
Bohui was a free agent after Brentford decided to close their academy, which therefore meant that the West London club lost out receiving a fee for the talented winger.

After joining Brentford aged 11, Bohui began to catch people's attention with his speed and skill - and insiders suggest that United had been tracking the youngster for two years before finally securing his signature.
