Man United duo Sancho and Rashford send messages to Paul Pogba following Juventus return

Manchester United pair Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho were quick to send messages to former teammate Paul Pogba after he finally made his second debut for Juventus.

The French midfielder made his first competitive appearance for the Italian club after rejoining them last summer. The 29-year-old came off the bench against Torino on Tuesday night, with Juventus securing a 4-2 victory.

Pogba sustained a knee injury in pre-season and underwent surgery, which meant he missed the first half of the campaign, as well as the World Cup in Qatar. However, he finally made his return to action after replacing Enzo Barrenechea in the 69th minute.

Juventus took a 3-2 lead over Torino shortly after Pogba's introduction and extended the advantage in the 80th minute when Adrien Rabiot found the back of the net. Pogba appeared in great spirits before and during the game, and his former teammates were pleased for the midfielder.

The ex-United ace took to Instagram to reflect on his comeback, writing: "All smiles for tonight, so happy to be back. Thank you for the warm welcome".

Rashford commented on the post - replying with a heart emoji - while Sancho said: "My brother, welcome back!" United captain Harry Maguire added: "PP", alongside a red heart. Meanwhile, Anthony Elanga wrote: "The come back".

Former Reds player Jesse Lingard also commented on the post, stating: "Love it brother".

Juventus are expected to take a cautious approach with Pogba, but he is likely be in contention to feature in some capacity on Sunday against Roma. The 29-year-old made 233 appearances for United across his two spells at Old Trafford, registering 39 goals and 53 assists.
