The 23-year-old Frenchman rejoined United for a world £100million transfer this week, in a move which was announced via a rap video with grime star Stormzy in a tweet containing the #Pogback hashtag.

Pogba left United in search of first-team football and signed for Juventus in 2012. He has since become one of the best players in the world, winning four Serie A titles during his time in Turin.

He said this week after completing the transfer to Jose Mourinho's side: "I am delighted to rejoin United. It has always been a club with a special place in my heart and I am really looking forward to working with 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.

"There are no words to be honest, there are no words. I just came back to Carrington, it was like I just came back home."
