Paul Pogba describes Juventus as “the club of my heart” because “they let me prove myself in football.”
The French midfielder came through the youth teams at Manchester United [joining from Le Havre], but made just three League appearances for the Red Devils.
He moved to Turin on a free transfer in 2012, and has become one of the most highly-rated young players in Europe.
“Juve are the first team where I started to play,” Pogba told the club’s official television channel.

“Juve are the first team where I started to play,” Pogba told the club’s official television channel.
“They’re the team who allowed me to go to the national team, the team where I scored my first goal, so now they’re the club of my heart.
“They let me prove myself in football, and had the confidence in me to put me on the pitch.
“How much do I love Juve out of 10? 10! Since I’ve been here, I’ve always given my best for the club, for the shirt, for everything. I play at 100 per cent. Always.”
Pogba has become known for his long-range strikes, and was asked how often he works on them in training.
“When it’s 11 against zero, with no goalkeeper!” Pogba laughed.
“There’s a goalkeeper, I try to do some shooting at the end of training, alone with a goalkeeper, to improve.”
