DBasia.news – Former Juventus midfielder, Claudio Marchisio, claimed he had advised Paul Pogba not to return to Manchester United. According to the former Italian national team player, Pogba is more suited to move to Real Madrid or Barcelona.
“I would be thrilled if Pogba returns to Juventus. “I told him he was wrong to head to United and if he really wanted a change, he should choose to move to Spain at that time,” Marchisio told Tuttosport.
Paul Pogba returned to United in 2016. The Red Devils had to break the world transfer record (89 million pounds or around Rp 1.6 trillion) to bring in the 27-year old player.
However, Pogba’s performance did not follow expectations. He is considered to have failed to lift the Red Devils game. Now, it is rumored that Pogba will leave Old Trafford and return to Juventus next season. Marchisio was pleased with the idea.
“His return to Juventus will be very positive. Pogba will be reborn in the environment that he loves and spoils him the most. And he will give Juventus many things as they need someone like him in midfield. Pogba is a great professional, “Marchisio added.
Paul Pogba himself has defended United in eight matches in all competitions this season. He also donated two assistants. Currently, the player is undergoing an ankle injury recovery process.
