The France mid fielder rejoined the Old Trafford team from
Italian champions Juventus for a world record fee of 89 million
pounds ($115.76 million) this week, signing a five-year contract
with the club he left in 2012 for Serie A.
"I've come back home, I'm happy...it's just a great feeling,"
the 23-year-old Pogba told United's in-house TV channel on
Tuesday.
"I would say it's destiny ... I didn't finish what I started
here so I think I came here to finish it."
Pogba won four Serie A titles and two Italian Cups during his
time with Juve.
"First of all (we must) win the league for the first time with
United because I hadn't won the league when I left," he said.
"The Champions League of course, and personally, one of my
dreams is to win the Ballon d'Or."
The latest of manager Jose Mourinho's new signings follows
defender Eric Bailly, striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and mid fielder
Henrikh Mkhitaryan into United.
"I spoke with a lot of players (who played under Mourinho) when
he was at Real Madrid," Pogba said.
"I spoke with him a few times and he gave me energy, he gave me
positivity. So I was thinking 'why not?'. I'm sure he can make
me improve and make me a better player and a better person."
United, who beat Premier League champions Leicester City 2-1 in
the Community Shield at Wembley at the weekend, begin the new
campaign on Sunday with a trip to Bournemouth.
