Manchester United 'missed out on sealing Paul Pogba's return to the club back in 2013... after then-boss David Moyes opted to pursue failed £25m chase for Cesc Fabregas instead'

Manchester United reportedly missed out on the chance to bring Paul Pogba back to Old Trafford in 2013 with then boss David Moyes instead opting to try and sing Cesc Fabregas in a £25million deal.

Pogba arrived at United as a 16-year-old keen to make his mark in the Premier League, but quit to join Juventus as a free agent two years later, citing a lack of first-team opportunities as the reason for his exit.

The Red Devils had the opportunity to bring Pogba back to Old Trafford in 2013 when Moyes took over from Sir Alex Ferguson, according to The Mirror.
