Paul Pogba has teased his upcoming transfer to Juventus following his release from Manchester United at the end of last month.
The 29-year-old is set to return to his former club for the second time this summer, a decade after he originally left Old Trafford to move to Turin as a teenager. Pogba spent four years at Juventus before he rejoined United back in 2016 for a then world-record fee of £89million.
Pogba divided opinion throughout his time at United, but it is widely acknowledged that he failed to live up to his enormous price tag, with the final five of his six seasons at the club ending trophyless.

Taking to social media on Friday morning, Pogba uploaded a video of himself aboard a private plane to Turin along with the hashtag 'PogAlmostBack' a reference to the 'PogBack' phrase used by United when they themselves re-signed the Frenchman six years ago.
Pogba is wearing the black and white colours of Juventus in the video and utters the words: "It's time...it's time. Yes sir. A presto" - which translates as 'see you soon'.
The French midfielder won the League Cup and Europa League in his first season back at United, scoring in the latter final.
However, the rest of Pogba's United career was fraught and laden with incident. His late agent, Mino Raiola, offered Pogba to Manchester City in January 2018 and claimed the Frenchman's United career was "over" in 2020.
Pogba revelled in the sacking of Jose Mourinho in December 2018 on Twitter and publicly said it was "time for a challenge somewhere else" in July 2019.
Pogba cupped his ear to United supporters who chanted "F--k off Pogba" on his final appearance at Old Trafford against Norwich in April. His last appearance for United was three days later against Liverpool at Anfield but came off injured after 10 minutes with United already 1-0 down.
Overall, Pogba played 233 times for United and scored 39 goals.
