New Manchester United signing Paul Pogba admits that he always believed that returning to Old Trafford was in his destiny.
The long drawn out transfer saga involving the Frenchman finally came to an end last night when Manchester United officially confirmed the signature of the 23-year-old midfielder.
Pogba left Old Trafford in 2012 and joined Juventus for a paltry compensation fee, and Manchester United paid a world record £89m to snare him away from the Italian champions this summer.
The Frenchman has indicated that he always believed that one day he would return to Old Trafford, and feels he left some unfinished business at Manchester United when he joined Juventus four years ago.
The midfielder told MUTV: “I think it's destiny, I would say it's destiny. First my mum told me I would come back here and I told her, ‘You never know, you’ll see.’ "for myself as well it’s a big challenge too, just to come back to where I came from, where I grew up, where I started. I didn’t finish what I started here so I think I came here to finish it.”
The midfielder believes that he has returned to Manchester United a better player, and feels his record at Juventus speaks for itself.
“I’m more experienced, I’ve won titles at Juventus. I’ve been playing with big players like when I started at Man United, of course.
“I came back. I’ve not come back from the Academy now; I went to play somewhere else and I came back, I would say, as a person, as an adult. I would say with experience, with more games, so I think that’s the difference.”
With just a few days left for the Premier League season to start, it remains to be seen whether Jose Mourinho decides to include Pogba in his squad for Manchester United’s game against Bournemouth on Sunday.
Pogba already has seven senior appearances under his belt from his previous stint at Old Trafford.
