This French attacking midfielder made 232 appearances for Manchester United and scored 39 goals and assisted another 51. But he couldn’t lead the Red Devils to be the champions.

After returning to Juventus, Paul Pogba has sent his first message to the fans.
“Hello Bianconeri, as you can see I’m back and I’m very happy. I can’t wait to get back together and win again. We will be together again on the field and in the stadium: PogbackToBack. Forza Juve until the end.”
