Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has lauded his former club’s financial situation in being able to sign Paul Pogba.
“He (Pogba) went away, spent four very successful years with Juventus and now Man United brought him back and paid an absolute fortune,” Schmeichel told Omnisport.
“You can argue how you can let him go in the first place, but the important thing is the statement that he is the best player in the world for that position.
“And we don’t care how much he (Pogba) costs, we can pay him. So can Man City, so can Chelsea, so can other clubs, but we can too. We make our own money; we don’t have someone sat back putting the money in.
“We make our own money and that’s how successful we are as Manchester United and we can buy the players we want. And I think that’s a great statement, we as supporters haven’t seen that for three years.”
United have failed to live up to expectations following the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013, missing out on Champions League qualification twice since.
