'I warned Pogba that returning to Manchester United was not the right move', claims former Juventus team-mate Claudio Marchisio... with France midfielder urged to go back to Turin after frustrating spell at Old Trafford

Juventus legend Claudio Marchisio has revealed he told Paul Pogba not to sign for Manchester United in 2016 because it was ‘not the right move for his career’.

Marchisio played with Pogba from 2012-2016 before the Frenchman sealed a club record £89million move back to Old Trafford.

The Frenchman’s second spell at United has been a frustrating one and he is set to leave when his contract expires this summer.
