“I am delighted to rejoin United,” Pogba told the official Manchester United club website.
“It has always been a club with a special place in my heart and I am really looking forward to working with Jose Mourinho.
“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Juventus and have some fantastic memories of a great club with players that I count as friends.
“But I feel the time is right to go back to Old Trafford. I always enjoyed playing in front of the fans and can’t wait to make my contribution to the team. This is the right club for me to achieve everything I hope to in the game.”
It is a return to Old Trafford, as Pogba left for just a development fee of around €800,000 in the summer of 2012, becoming a star at Juventus.
“Good morning to everyone, fans and all of Juve,” said Pogba on another video on social media.
“It is a moment of sadness, I have to say, because I am going to another team. I am ending an adventure that started very well and I am very happy because of that.
“I’ve grown a lot and learned so much from Juve and you Juve fans. It is a book that closes and another that opens elsewhere, but I want to thank Juventus, all the players, staff and fans who believed in me and you will always be in my heart. Thank you again, thank you everyone.”
He scored 28 goals in 124 appearances for the Bianconeri over four seasons, but leaves a club building a squad for the Champions League in order to join a side that will only compete in the Europa League this term.
Former Inter Coach Mourinho also commented on the transfer for the Manchester United site.
“Paul is one of the best players in the world and will be a key part of the United team I want to build here for the future. He is quick, strong, scores goals and reads the game better than many players much older than he is.
“At 23, he has the chance to make that position his own here over many years. He is young and will continue to improve; he has the chance to be at the heart of this club for the next decade and beyond.”
