Paul Pogba refuses to sign Man United shirt

Pogba's stay at United was not short of controversies, with the France international often landing himself in trouble with the club's fanbase.

That appeared to continue during his return to Juventus over the weekend when he declined to sign a United shirt.

Daily Mail reports that the World Cup-winning star wagged his finger and said 'no' after a supporter requested him to sign a Red Devils shirt.

It is understood that Pogba spared some time to sign autographs for jubilant supporters who were delighted to see him back.

However, he declined to sign a Manchester United jersey, with a video shared on social media capturing the awkward moment.

Meanwhile, the 29-year-old will be hoping to rediscover his spark in Turin, having failed to live up to his billing at the Theatre of Dreams.
