Jose Mourinho is looking to reinforce his squad this summer and Paul Pogba has been constantly linked with a return to Old Trafford. However, the Les Bleus star is not the only player on Man United’s transfer wishlist.
According to the latest reports, Manchester United have not abandoned the chase of Pogba’s teammate Dimitri Payet and the Red Devils have once again inquired about hiring the services of the versatile playmaker (Top Mercato via France Football).
The 29-year-old attacker signed for the Hammers last season and was absolutely brilliant in the Premier League. In the last campaign, he featured in 38 games (all competitions) for West Ham United, scored 12 goals and provided 15 assists. Payet also made it into the PFA Team of the Year.
Not to forget, Pogba was average for France at the European Championships and Payet was way better than the 23-year-old star. The former Lille player was one of the stars of the tournament. He scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists in the competition and deservedly made it into the UEFA Team of the Tournament.
As per the provided Top Mercato link, Payet is now rated around 60 million euros ($65 million). Should Jose splash the cash to sign him?

My cards are in, if Juventus is unwilling to let go of Pogba then Dimitri Payet can come in….I love his style of play..
Totally agree with moe. Better and cheaper too!
Agreed pogba is not worth such an amount payet is better n cheaper with 120 man utd can get 2 great players
Lets be realistic here am never happy at Pogba’s issue sick and tired i did mentioned in other platform that instead of using that much on one play we buy Jese, Payet, Ross Barley, Matudi and many more w are better off than that if he don’t want to come let him be we need PL experienced players
Better than Pogba,thouhg he is a bit old
A $120m Buck For Pogba?
I’d Better Advice United To Forget About Him And Go For Stars Like,
Payet And matuidi For A $100m Buck Instead.
100 million for Pogba is absolutely ludicrous.
Would much rather have spent the money on Cante and Payet also if you are going to spend that amount on one player you surely should buy a top striker as at the end of the day it’s all about GOALS.
You all going off on a small sample size, as far as Payet is concern. I love Payet as a player, work rate, technic, etc. However, when Pogba is focused and on his game, Payet cannot even bring a Gatorade for Pogba to drink. Google Pogba body of work over the past couple seasons, not for one season and a tournament. Relax people, Pogba is a beast, box to box world class talent, not just offence, box to box. Watch the ride people.
Both are very good players but Pogba is much better. English fans have formed an opinion based on euro performances and based on Payet’s performance at west ham but they are not aware of what pogba has accomplished at juve over last 4 years and how instrumental he was.
Truly Payet is a good player. No doubt , it was not only at the euros, but also in the premier league during the previous season, especially in spot kicks. Its worth all the way and every penny, than Pogba.
To me Pogba is really good but considering the way his agent and his current club are dragging the transfer, we should look at other players that can offer value for money eg Payet, Jesse, James Roriguez, carrasco.
if it is true….I think payet has something to offer, despite the age.
Forget Pogba and sign Matuidi and Payet. It will be cheaper and better.
Why is it always problematic signing players from juve, this is another Arthuro Vidal drama that never materialized. Tired of hide and seek game by juve. There are other better and cheaper players out there, Payer , Rodriguez and Matuidi can give us what we need.
What we can get in both Payer and Matuidi is combined in Pogba and even the fact that Juve is holding so tightly to him despite the 100million+ makes it more tantalizing…POGBA all the way for me
In as much as Pogba is good but the fee is much, Manchester United should better go for Matuidi and Payet which the two will be better than one Pogba
Well both Pogba and Payet are good …. but i think with that much amount of money we better use it to bring in Payet and Matuidi …. because for me Matuidi can also do what Pogba can do in the defensive midfield, then at up front we need players like Payet that is good in creating chances on goal which i think that is the must important thing that we need this season to score goals and end up with good result at the end of the day . .
