Paul Pogba was one of the best midfielders in the world when he played for Juventus! He was all over the place, needed a pass: he was there, goal to be scored: he was there, last minute winner: he was there! Pogba did everything at Juventus and managed to nearly win the Ballon D’or with his performance in the Italian league! Once he was recognised, a lot of huge clubs were out to sign the French maestro. He even ended up being in the first team for France! Pogba was magical to watch! He could of went anywhere or stay at Juventus for another season, however he decided to go back to Manchester United and play in the Premier League. \u00a389.3 million! He was one of the most expensive players at the time… He turned out to be a flop! Pogba needs to step up his game! He was class at Juventus and managed to help them win a lot of games and got them far in the champions league, but for Manchester United, he can\u2019t seem to get them anywhere, losing his mind on the pitch and not being able to sting a pass through!<\/p>\n

\nEditorial credit:\u00a0\u00a0\/\u00a0Shutterstock.com<\/center>When Pogba started at Manchester United, everyone had high hopes for him, he could have been the next big thing in the Premier League, he started off well under Jose Mourinho, got a lot of passes away and had a lot of work to do, if he wanted to be the best French midfielder in the world! He managed to waste all the opportunity\u2019s he had and become one of the worst transfers of the year! Pogba still has a lot of learning to do but we have seen both Pogba and Mourinho arguing on the training ground, this could suggest Pogba wants to leave Manchester United for a different team because united aren\u2019t good enough? Or he just doesn\u2019t like his manager! What will happen to United? They could end up not making in the top 10, never mind top 5! Do you think Pogba was a flop?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
