"Manchester United" coach Jose Mourinho admitted that convincing Paul Pogba to come to the team of "Red Devils" was really not easy.
The Portuguese also revealed that another powerful club wanted to buy the midfielder.
However, the 23-year-old Frenchman eventually chose "Man United" and became the most expensive footballer of all time.
"It was hard to convince him," - Mourinho told Goal.com. "We talked many times on the phone, I sent him many messages."
"I think in the mornings he was getting a message from another big club coach, and in the afternoons from me. I tried to convince him to choose us, not them."
Mourinho did not reveal the name of the other club interested in Pogba. It is believed that it could have been "Real Madrid", but Zinedine Zidane was ultimately deterred by the price of more than 100 million euros.
