Paul Pogba Reportedly Told Juventus Fan He Wants to Return to Club

Paul Pogba reportedly told a Juventus fan he wants to return to the club after he helped Manchester United record a 2-1 win against them in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.

Pogba left United for Juve in 2012 and spent four years in Turin before rejoining the Premier League giants, but it seems he has unfinished business there.

According to Tuttosport (h/t Football Italia), the midfielder approached the Curva Sud after the final whistle and told one of the fans, "Yes, I do want to return."

Per Squawka's Muhammad Butt, Pogba did not enjoy the best return to Juve from a personal standpoint:

The Frenchman was pleased with the positive reception he received at Juventus Stadium, though:

Pogba won Serie A in all four seasons he played with the Bianconeri, as well as winning the Coppa Italia twice and reaching the Champions League final in 2015.

Since he rejoined United, he has won the League Cup and the UEFA Europa League, but the team are still a long way off from being the force they were when he left.

The midfielder has often come in for criticism since his return to Old Trafford too, with some unhappy with his inconsistent contributions.

According to BT Sport's numbers, he has only been slightly less effective than he was with the Old Lady:

However, given he should now be at or fast approaching his peak at the age of 25, he should be contributing more now than he was in Italy.

The Red Devils will be loath to part with him in the near future after the £89 million investment they made to get him back in 2016, but if things never quite come together for him at Old Trafford, a return to Juventus could provide an escape route.
