The Frenchman was dismayed at the lack of opportunities under Sir Alex Ferguson who, in one case, made a decision to shift players out of position before giving a chance to Pogba.
However, Zinedine Zidane has been coy about the possibility of an offer for the France global.
Still, there is nothing quite like keeping fans guessing to maintain the mystique of your brand.
The Juventus star has been persistently linked with Manchester United and Real Madrid all summer and a move back to Old Trafford worth at least £100million appears close. Until then, he will continue to drip-feed hints to supporters voracious for a star transfer.
This follows the news that Pogba had flown to Los Angeles from Miami for his medical on Thursday evening.
English newspaper “The Sun” reported a Juventus source claimed a deal between the two clubs was done.
Pogba’s posts chime with a tweet sent out by his agent Mino Raiola on Friday night, denying that a deal has been done – and accusing journalists of merely parroting each other’s rumours.
And Yorke, a treble victor during a four-year spell at Old Trafford, believes captain Rooney would stand to gain the most from Pogba’s arrival.
