It is confirmed that Pogba has left Man Utd and will Juventus, but he did not mention anything about his next employer. Starting the show, Pogba said:

“My name is Paul Pogba, I play at Manchester United, one of the best clubs on the planet. A few years ago, I won the World Cup with France. I want to be among the elite, outstanding.
“Now, I am at a turning point in my career. I have big decisions to make which are going to determine my future and I don’t have the right to make an error.”

He then gave hints on why he decided to dump Manchester United for a second time. Pogba added via Manchester Evening News:

“When you like a girl, you do everything to seduce her and you don’t wait for her to leave to chase after her.
“A player, he has to feel important in his team, his club. If you don’t have that, it’s over.
“Even Jesus wasn’t unanimously rejected, they still crucified him. Religion has calmed me down, made me open my eyes. Family comes first before everything else.”

Meanwhile, Sports Brief earlier reported that footage has emerged of Paul Pogba calling a £300k-a-week offer from Manchester United “Nothing” while cruising in his Rolls Royce in Miami.

A preview of the film, as seen by The Athletic, shows Pogba turning down a deal that was slightly higher than his previous £290,000-a-week wage with the Red Devils.

Whilst on the phone with the late Mino Raiola, Pogba is heard terming the new offer “nothing”.
