Paul Pogba’S brother has taken an interesting dig at Manchester United over alleged false promises as he disclosed his role in the Frenchman quitting the club for Juventus a decade ago.

Pogba came up through the ranks at Manchester United after joining the Old Trafford club at the under 16 level from Le Havre.

But he eventually made a move to Italy, joining Juventus in 2012 after making a mere seven appearances for Manchester United the previous season.

According to Pogba’s brother Mathias, a lot of credit needs to go to him for Pogba’s Juventus move.

"[Paul was] not just a little pushed, it was thanks to me that he signed there,” the former Wrexham and Partick Thistle striker told So Foot:
