Manchester United fans may come to regret their tumultuous connection with Paul Pogba. After the Italian giants entered the fight for Jean-Clair Todibo, a player apparently on Erik ten Hag’s transfer wish list, the Frenchman, now with Juventus, is in a prime position to sting his former employers.
Pogba, a World Cup winner, is one of the most recognized international midfielders of his time. But two spells at Manchester United did not bring him the same level of fan devotion, with many considering that his performances and attitude were lacking.
Pogba departed Manchester United on a free transfer in 2022 after the club refused to match his high wage demands. The 30-year-old might exact revenge on United this summer by influencing Todibo’s future.
According to reports, Ten Hag and co. are interested in the centre-back, who could provide much-needed reinforcement if Harry Maguire goes during the summer transfer window.
According to RMC Sport, Juventus has entered the race after contacting OGC Nice. Pogba, now in his second stint at Juventus, is in an ideal position to guide his compatriot through life in Serie A and persuade him towards Turin.
With less than a month until the transfer window closes, success would narrow United’s centre-back transfer choices. Nice is said to have received no bids for Todibo, who is valued at £26 million.
