Paul Pogba has already hinted at Man Utd return stance as Juventus hit with 15 point deduction

Paul Pogba has already hinted at Man Utd return stance as Juventus hit with 15 point deduction

Paul Pogba makes his Man Utd feelings clear.

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has made his feelings on a return to the club clear after some fans have been calling for his return to Old Trafford.

United brought Pogba back to Old Trafford in 2016 from Juventus but things never went as planned with a mediocre second spell never seeing him hit the heights expected.

He returned to the Old Lady in the summer but is yet to appear for the club due to an injury.

Given Juventus' recent struggles off the field, some United fans have said they would take the Frenchman back at Old Trafford.

However, in an Amazon Prime Documentary titled 'The Pogumentary' Pogba spoke about his feeling towards his former club.

As reported by The Express, he said: “My thought process is to show Manchester (United) that they made a mistake in waiting to give me a contract.

“And to show other clubs that Manchester had made a mistake in not offering me a contract.”

An almost impossible return

There is still animosity from the midfielder towards United which makes any possible return almost impossible.

He also left under a pretty big cloud so even though some fans want him back, it's not likely he would receive a good reception upon his return.

He's a player who has shone for his country, winning the World Cup with them back in 2018, but could've potentially achieved more at club level.

Juventus are currently embroiled in a transfer scandal and as a result, have been docked 15 points by Serie A.

This makes their road back to success even longer than previously thought so if Pogba sticks around then it might be a while before he sees any success.

However, he has previously made it clear that he is happy at Juventus despite their struggles.

Pogba continued: “Juventus came from two years in which they did not win the Scudetto. It was a good challenge for both of us, and maybe it was the right time to get together and try to take back our rightful place: me and Juventus.

“Inside of me I know that this jersey is very special. It brings out my best. We built a good history with this team, which I never forgot even when I left.”

Meanwhile, United are heading in the right direction under new manager Erik ten Hag, and with new midfield additions of Christian Eriksen and Casemiro, Pogba is a distant memory.
