The Paul Pogba news is the talk of Manchester this week, but at least one resident doesn’t seem too impressed.
This 89-year-old Mancunian nan has not held back in her verdict on the Juventus midfielder’s proposed £100million move to United.
As she carefully dishes out the biscuits to go with a Sunday morning cup of tea, her grandson Si grills her about the eye-wateringly expensive deal – and whether the France star is worth the money.
Her reply is Mark Lawrenson-esque in it’s withering assessment of the player and fee.

The clip proved an instant hit on Twitter, with football fans even calling on Sky Sports to sign her up as a pundit.
