He scored a screamer against Portsmouth in the FA Youth Cup as United got the better of Portsmouth. Sir Alex Ferguson was aware of his capabilities and the Scottish manager included him in the first-team squad alongside four other academy players ahead of United’s FA Cup tie against Crawley Town.

In 2012 Pogba eventually made his debut in the Premier League as he replaced Javier Hernandez against Stoke City. He went on to appear in two more Premier League games and also debuted in the Europa League against Athletic Bilbao.

He was a regular in the reserve team and in 16 matches he netted three goals and laid another six.

Career progression: Juventus

Pogba decided to move to Italy as Juventus opted to acquire his service on a free transfer.

The French midfielder took very little time to acclimatise himself to the Italian condition and went on to dominate the Italian top flight.

The midfielder made his debut for the Bianconeri in September 2012 against Chievo. his partnership with Claudio Marchisio and Andrea Pirlo became the highlight of the Serie-A and Pogba became the core piece of the Italian side.

He received the “Golden Boy” award in 2013 for being the best young player in Europe. His brilliant work in the middle of the pitch helped Juventus to clinch back to back four Italian Serie-A titles.

He was also shortlisted for the UEFA Best Player in 2015 and also made it to the UEFA Team of the year for his exemplary display in the Champions League.

Pogba’s return to Manchester United

United lifted the Europa League by defeating Ajax and also got the better of Southampton in the EFL Cup final. In the following season, Pogba failed to replicate his magic as United finished 19 points behind Manchester City who ran away with the Premier League title.

Pogba’s relation with Jose Mourinho hit a new low this season as the French World Cup winner was left out of a number of crucial matches including the Liverpool which they lost 3-1.

Mourinho was shown the door after this match and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was introduced in the dugout. Solskjaer’s arrival proved to be a major boost for the 27-year-old as the Norwegian manager helped him in reviving his failing career.
