'Must be desperate' - Manchester United fans mock Juventus as Paul Pogba deal edges closer

Manchester United fans have reacted to reports that Paul Pogba is set to sign a four-year deal with Juventus.

The midfielder has been hitting the headlines this week amid the release of his new documentary. In it, Pogba 's disconnect with United is evident, the player vowing to make the club “regret” not handing him a better contract offer.

Supporters became visibly disgruntled with the player towards the end of his stay, with nearly all seemingly happy to see the World Cup winner leave after consistently producing abject performances. It's understood that he is now poised to return to former club Juventus.

The Frenchman arrived at Old Trafford from the Italian club in 2016 for £89m - a world-record fee at the time. Pogba will officially leave United later this month when his contract expires.

Many have pointed out that he has now joined Juventus from United for free on two occasions, having left the academy set-up for the Old Lady in 2012. However, some supporters feel the 29-year-old’s exit is not only good news for their club, but bad business from Juventus.

Reacting on Twitter to the reports of an impending Italy return for Pogba, United fans made their thoughts known.

@Tweetdecatalyst: We can deliver him to their locker room for free.

@A4Aster: It’s a howler move by him if he does this.

@DomSramaty: Good riddance.

@counterjoint: Ferguson got rid of him for a reason. Bringing him back was madness.

@SneakyBear1987: He won't be missed by Man United.

@GavinDelegate: Juventus must be desperate.
