Paul Pogba 'makes feeling clear' on ditching Juventus after Man Utd fans called for return

Back in January, some Manchester United fans called on Paul Pogba to return after Juventus were docked 15 Serie A points following an investigation into past transfer dealings. However, the midfielder has reportedly pledged his loyalty to the Old Lady despite their difficult situation. And that means there’s little to no chance of the 29-year-old jumping ship at the current moment in time.

Pogba never lived up to expectations at United after rejoining the Red Devils from Juventus back in the summer transfer window of 2016.

And his time back in Serie A has been a disaster so far, with the 29-year-old regularly hampered by injuries.

Pogba is yet to play a competitive match for Juventus since his return, leading to talk of him potentially leaving the club.

Earlier in the week, reports suggested the Old Lady had grown ‘fed up’ of the France international and his failure to stay fit.

But Tuttosport via Football Italia claim Pogba has no intention of leaving Juventus at the current moment in time.

And whether Juventus can build momentum without their No 10 playing regularly remains to be seen.

Former United captain Roy Keane, meanwhile, recently hailed Ten Hag for getting rid of ‘energy sappers’ like Pogba and Lingard.

“When the manager came in, United were rock bottom and we had to talk about the recruitment, but what I think was key as well was the five or six players that left,” he told Sky Sports.

“I’m not knocking all these players, Pogba, Mata, Matic, Jesse Lingard, lads who’d been around and knew they were leaving.

“They knew they’d be leaving and their contracts were up for most of them and I think that wasn’t helping.

“There definitely feels around the club a new energy, the new manager has put a few markers down after a bad to start to the season, and that momentum and that feel good factor is back at the club. The energy levels are different.

“I think that’s helped (Ronaldo’s departure) the manager and the club.

“No one wanted that to be hanging over the second half of the season and it should have been dealt with in the summer. That whole Ronaldo situation, he obviously wasn’t going to sit on the bench and be happy with it.

“They’ve now dealt with it and now it’s not hanging over the club anymore. But also the other five or six lads that left, Cavani another one.

“Those who were fringe players, coming off the bench, and when they were coming on they weren’t bringing anything because they felt they should have been starting.

“Those subs and fringe players have to come on and be ready, where as the fringe players last year, you just felt they were energy-sappers.”
