Paul Pogba explains how 'angry' brother influenced move from Man Utd to Juventus
In a recent interview with Manchester United TV, Paul Pogba revealed how his furious older brother urged him to move away from Old Trafford. Pogba was quoted as saying “My brother, the United fan, told me he was really angry – even more than me – when I didn’t play. He told me: ‘No, go. You can play in this team. If they don’t want you here, go somewhere else. They will see'. “My mother always told me: ‘You will go somewhere but come back.’ She always said this. I was like: ‘We will see’. But you know mothers and the things she said: ‘You will come back here, don’t worry’ and that was just after. She said you will come back to Manchester, don’t worry, and I did."
Paul Pogba further went on to add that he was overjoyed when he secured a move back to Manchester United from Juventus in a record deal a couple of years ago. The French World Cup winner said “When I came back, I was really happy to come back. I left it and didn’t finish. I started something but I didn’t finish, I just went somewhere else. To finish it. Obviously, coming back where I started was for me, why I was really happy. Now I’m ready to come as a confirmed player not a youth player.”
