Plenty will point to money spent on a player who was theirs four years ago, but Pogba is back at United again and is likely to be for some time.

“On the first day training session Pogba had with Juventus the players were laughing”.
“I will always remember the first day he trained at Juventus”, the reported comments continued.
Pirlo finished his talk by saying: “He’s the best young player I’ve ever seen and someday, he will be the best in the world”.
The decision to let Pogba go was lamented by many tied to United very quickly, as Pogba adapted to life in Serie A superbly.
Jose Mourinho’s side smashed the transfer record to bring the France global back to Old Trafford on a five-year deal for a fee worth an initial £89.5m. “He has to grab those games by the scruff of the neck, because at Manchester United you have to win your team big matches”.
“The best Manchester United sides have always had this strong spine with creative, inventive players around the edges”. It has been between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for many years now, but football should get ready for a new king. “But if he plays like he’s playing now, they have to love him because he’s being so important for us”.
Pogba left Sir Alex Ferguson’s United for around £800,000 in a compensation fee for Juve partly due to Fergie’s disdain for the France midfielder’s agent Mino Raiola, who is understood to have made £20m of the total £109m fee paid by United to break the world record transfer fee in bringing Pogba’s return last week.

Pirlo won four league titles with Juventus alongside the young Frenchman in their four seasons at the club and is now playing in America with New York City. “You give any team Pogba and Zlatan in one window and they are capable of special things”.
