Pep Guardiola spoke with Pogba and the club drafted a lucrative contract to show their interest in signing the midfielder from bitter rivals United. Manchester City also made a surprising bid to get Pogba from United.

Pogba discusses the second United proposition from last July with his late agent Mino Raiola in “The Pogmentary.”
Was there a second offer from Manchester United? Asks Raiola, Pogba.
Raiola responds, “Yes.” “They fervently desire that you remain. The offer does not, in my opinion, represent that. If you want him to stay, don’t make that offer, I advised them. I’ll make them realise that this time, they must act differently and put the money on the table if they truly want you to stay and want to develop a project around you.”
They’re playing a bluff, claims Pogba. “How do you tell a player you want him more than anything else while making him nothing? never witnessed that.”

It was a transaction that went viral on social media. Pogba’s announcement video was followed by a sponsored music clip with Stormzy, who emerged from the shadows with a red demon inscribed into his hair.
It was meant to be the beginning of something extraordinary. A new era for a team that was still getting its bearings three years after Sir Alex Ferguson retired.
But Pogba has failed to lead United to their previous heights. The only trophies from his six-season stint are the 2017 League Cup and Europa League.
