Also have made an official bid of £60m for Pogba although I feel it's just another tyre kicking exercise
And to think you let him go for free
Not much we could do at the time, was young and not getting a game at the time. Probably a dozen kids from every club leave each year and 90% don't go on to have a decent career. Every now and then one goes on to become a gun and we have to wear it. I don't think he is coming back though
Paul Scholes is to blame imo. Coming back after retirement mid season basically took his place and that was the last straw for Pogba.
Definately one of the reasons but he had a bit of an attitude problem at the time aswell, Fergie played Raphael in the midfield for a few games ahead of Pogba until Scholes returned.
Fergie and Pogba's manager had some huge problems also and it's no secret that Juve had been talking to him long before he signed. Hard for a kid not getting a game to turn away a big pay increase. At the time it was probably best for both parties but with hindsight it was a error by us. One might wonder if he had turned out the same if he had stayed with us as he has grown up immensely in Turin
