A decade on from Pogba's United debut

The Frenchman was brought on as a substitute by Sir Alex Ferguson in a League Cup victory at Leeds United on 20 September 2011, after showcasing his wonderful ability in the Academy age groups.

When replacing Ryan Giggs at the break to partner Ji-sung Park in the engine room, the 18-year-old helped the Reds clinch a 3-0 win in a hostile environment.

Zeki Fryers and Larnell Cole also made their first-team bow that night but it is Pogba's story with the club that endured.

Of course, Paul's journey has not been conventional. He left to join Juventus in 2012, only to return to Old Trafford four years later as a world-class midfielder, with four Serie A titles and two Coppa Italia triumphs under his belt.
