MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester United has made Paul Pogba the worlds most expensive footballer, signing the France midfielder for around 105 million euros ($116 million) four years after releasing him for virtually nothing.Pogba signed a five-year deal with an option for a further year, United announced early Tuesday as new manager Jose Mourinho continues to rebuild a team that is out of the Champions League this season.Pogba was a promising 19-year-old when he left the northern England club after his contract expired, having only made seven appearances as a substitute. He joined Juventus, which reportedly had to pay 800,000 pounds (now around $1 million).Pogba returns as one of the brightest young talents in the game after winning four successive Serie A titles, and for a fee that eclipses the 101 million euros that Real Madrid spent to sign Gareth Bale from Tottenham in 2013.It has always been a club with a special place in my heart and I am really looking forward to working with Jose Mourinho, Pogba said. I feel the time is right to go back to Old Trafford. I always enjoyed playing in front of the fans and cant wait to make my contribution to the team. This is the right club for me to achieve everything I hope to in the game.Juventus has already spent most of the windfall from Pogbas departure, signing Gonzalo Higuain from Italian rival Napoli for 90 million euros ($99 million) earlier this week. That ranked as the third-most expensive transfer in world football -- after Gareth Bales 101 million euro move from Tottenham to Real Madrid in 2013 and Cristiano Ronaldos 94 million euro deal from Manchester United to Real Madrid in 2009.Pogba is Uniteds fourth signing since Mourinho replaced Louis van Gaal as manager of the record 20-time English champions.Paul is one of the best players in the world and will be a key part of the United team I want to build here for the future, Mourinho said. He is quick, strong, scores goals and reads the game better than many players much older than he is. At 23, he has the chance to make that position his own here over many years.Defender Eric Bailly, midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan and striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic have already joined to help United return to the Champions League. In the upcoming season, they will have to settle with playing in the Europa League. The same agent, Mino Raiola, represents Ibrahimovic, Mkhitaryan and Pogba.United will be hoping the newcomers, signed at a collective cost of $190 million, can deliver the teams first Premier League trophy since Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.Pogbas expensive return to Old Trafford follows a bitter split. Ferguson accused Pogba of not showing United any respect and insisted he was happy to let Pogba leave in 2012, three years after joining from French club Le Havre. For his part, Pogba said he was unhappy at a lack of first-team opportunities under Ferguson, especially when there were injuries in the squad.Although Pogba illuminated the Italian league last season at Juventus, he wasnt as dynamic or influential for France at the European Championship, where his team lost to Portugal in the final.Clubs usually pay record amounts of cash on strikers or attacking midfielders who can guarantee goals and regular game-changing moments. Pogba is different in this respect -- he is an energetic central midfielder with a strong all-round game -- so United has been criticized by some pundits for the fee it is paying.Yet, Mourinho believes Pogba has the potential to be the best player in the world and will be worth the money.He is young and will continue to improve, Mourinho said. He has the chance to be at the heart of this club for the next decade and beyond.It is 20 years since an English club paid a world-record fee, with Blackburn spending 15 million pounds to sign Alan Shearer.The Premier League has finally ended the trend of elite players moving to the two big Spanish clubs, Barcelona and Madrid, or German powerhouse Bayern Munich. And its a statement of intent by United after three years in the wilderness following Fergusons retirement at the start of a new era under Mourinho.---Harris reported from Rio de Janeiro Joe Montana Womens Jersey . - NASCAR announced a 33-race schedule for the 2014 Nationwide Series with virtually no changes from this years slate.

Anderson sidelined by a knee injury, the Denver Broncos struggled to get off the ground in their AFC West showdown against the Oakland Raiders.Rookie Devontae Booker was bottled up from the start and Denver ended up abandoning the run in a 30-20 loss to the Raiders on Sunday night that dropped the defending Super Bowl champions out of first place.Booker was held to 22 yards on 10 carries and Denver (6-3) ran for just 33 yards on 12 attempts against what had been one of the leagues worst run defenses the first half of the season. It was the least productive game for the Broncos on the ground since they were held to 28 yards on 10 carries in a loss to St. Louis on Nov. 16, 2014.Weve got to find a way to run the football somehow, some way, to help our football team, coach Gary Kubiak said. Obviously the last two weeks its been pretty much non-existent.Denvers running game took a big hit two weeks ago when Anderson was placed on injured reserve because he needed surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee.Anderson was coming off his best performance of the season, having run for 107 yards on 16 carries in a win against Houston. He was averaging 4.0 yards a carry and had run for four TDs at the time of his injury that forced Booker into a more prominent role.In two games as the lead back, Booker has run for just 76 yards on 29 carries.The running game was more of a luxury in recent years for Denver when Peyton Manning was controlling the game at quarterbback.dddddddddddd. But during Mannings struggles last season and with rookie Trevor Siemian at the controls this year, the Broncos need to rely more heavily on the run game if they want to have success offensively.They came out throwing against the Raiders and went three and out on their first four possessions. Siemian threw eight passes out of the 12 plays, with Booker running four times for 10 yards.Denver struggled to stay on the field, converting just 3 of 11 third downs and possessing the ball for only 18:32.Part of that is on me, Siemian said. Some of those third downs, you cant run the ball if youre not on the field. Converting those third downs and staying on the field and getting into a rhythm -- its not just the quarterbacks and receivers but the offensive line, everybody. Its something well work on and well get it fixed.Siemian managed to hit a few big plays in the passing game later on, connecting on a deep 36-yard TD pass to Jordan Norwood in the second quarter and a 69-yard TD on a short pass behind the line to Kapri Bibbs in the fourth quarter.But with little threat of the run, Oaklands pass rushers were able to tee off on Siemian, and Khalil Mack had two sacks, including a forced fumble that he recovered. Siemian also threw a late interception that sealed the win for Oakland.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
