Moment Paul Pogba 'told former teammates his transfer plans' as he plots Man Utd exit

Paul Pogba is reportedly desperate to return to Juventus - and told his former Bianconeri teammates as much at the end of the season,

The Manchester United midfielder looks likelier by the day to seal a move away from Old Trafford this summer after a campaign plagued by inconsistency.

Frenchman Pogba struggled to find his best form in the first half of the season as the Red Devils made their worst ever start to a Premier League term.

But his upturn in performance was dramatic following the dismissal of Jose Mourinho after a very public fall-out between the feuding pair.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's appointment as caretaker manager saw Pogba spearhead United back into Champions League contention, but his form fell horribly again at the end of the campaign, along with his side's league position.

Now he has spoken of his desire to leave United three years after returning to Old Trafford from Juventus , with the Old Lady the favourites to re-sign him this summer.

And, according to reports in Italy, he told his old pals he wanted to go back to Turin when attending Andrea Barzagli's birthday party last month.

Pogba scored 43 goals in 178 matches in his first spell with Juve, a stint which saw him win four Serie A titles and two Coppa Italia.

He helped United to the League Cup and Europa League crowns in 2016-2017 under Mourinho but was trophy-less in the other two campaigns.
