Mikael Silvestre thinks Paul Pogba has unfinished business at Manchester United and is ready to 'dominate' Premier League midfields.

The 23-year-old, away on holiday in New York, is gearing up to complete a move away from Juventus which will eventually top £100million.

Silvestre - who spent nine years at Old Trafford, winning five league titles - believes United's insistence on landing Pogba is a step forward in their quest to control games, although chose to deride the continued inflation of transfer fees.

'With Paul, we want to dominate midfield,' he said. 'Coming back over here, I'm sure he feels like he has some unfinished business.

'Coming back to United shows a good character and willingness to bring the club back and make it dominant again.

'But looking at prices for players now, the market has gone. You wonder when you are going to hit the roof. When you look at [Gonzalo] Higuain costing Juventus €97.4 million, it's just madness.'

United are set to announce Pogba's arrival before the France international undergoes a medical after what have been protracted negotiations between both clubs and agent Mino Raiola.

Pogba will link-up with international team-mate Anthony Martial, who Silvestre claimed must put his European Championship disappointment behind him quickly.

The forward was United's only bright spark at times during a turgid campaign under Louis van Gaal but was largely consigned to the bench with France.

Anthony Martial failed to make an impact at Euro 2016 despite a good season for United

Martial scored 17 goals in his debut season following the September switch from Monaco and has been urged to forget about Euro 2016.

'For Anthony, it's about confirming what he has been showing and learning lessons from the Euros where he didn't participate much,' Silvestre added.

'He didn't grab his opportunity and there was a lot of competition within the French squad. It was difficult to move Payet away from the starting XI.'
