to leave Manchester United but has admitted he still
loves the club.
Much to the dismay of United fans, the 21-year-old
has developed into one of the top young players in the
game since departing Old Trafford in 2012.
Pogba played a major role in helping Juve clinch their
third successive Scudetto last season, scoring seven
goals and setting up seven more in 36 Serie A
appearances for the Bianconeri.
"I'm impatient," Pogba said in the latest FourFourTwo
magazine about leaving United. 'It was the feeling I
had. The coach (Sir Alex Ferguson) had faith in me but
didn't put me on.
"He said that I was too young. He said "your time will
come" but it never did. It didn't come. But it does not
mean I will speak ill of Manchester United. I love the
club."
Pogba recently signed a contract extension with the
Turin giants until June 2019, and Juve general director
Giuseppe Marotta says the club have no need to sell
the player, who has been linked with a return to
United.
"What was a promising player has become a reality,"
Marotta told Sky Italia. "Every European club is
watching him and have been in contact with us.
"We, however, want to have a strong team made up of
champions. We have an important player in Pogba
and we don't have a need to sell him."
The midfielder scored a sensational volley to help Juve
beat Napoli 3-1 in Naples on Sunday and increase his
tally to four goals in 15 Serie A appearances.
Pogba's agent, Mino Raiola, is adamant his player is
one of the most valuable in the world and believes he
will only continue to improve.
"Is Pogba's price tag around €80m (£66m)? He is one
of the most expensive players on the market," Raiola
told Italian radio station RAI.
"Considering his age, he has room for improvement
and he is among the best. Of course, the asking price
always depends on eventual buyers."
