Jose Mourinho admits persuading Paul Pogba to Manchester United was tough

Football: Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that it was "hard" to convince world record signing Paul Pogba to join the club. The Old Trafford club signed the French midfielder from Juventus in a world record transfer fee of £89.3 million over the summer.  
Speaking to Goal, the Portuguese said;

"Oh, it was hard to convince him. I had many conversations on the phone, lots of SMS," 

"I think he was getting one in the morning from the manager from another big club and one in the afternoon from myself. I had to try hard to convince him to choose us instead of the other one."
