Juventus Determined to Seal Deal for Manchester United\u2019s Paul Pogba With Surprising development<\/h2>\n

Pogba not Living up to the Price at United<\/h3>\n

Paul Pogba has not had the desired effect at Manchester United.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman, who came through the ranks in Manchester, moved to Juventus in 2012 at the end of his contract. While in Italy, he emerged as one of the world\u2019s best midfielders.<\/p>\n

He consistently scored and assisted many goals, while providing great creativity and class in Juve\u2019s midfield. He attracted interest<\/a> from around Europe, but former club United ended up snatching him, paying a hefty, then world record, \u00a389 million for him.<\/p>\n

Despite his tremendous performances for the Italian giants and high price tag, Pogba failed to impress upon moving to United. He was one of Jose Mourinho\u2019s first signings there, but couldn\u2019t justify the Red Devils\u2019 having paid so much for his services.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman has struggled with injuries since his Manchester move too, namely thigh, hamstring and ankle. The latter of these has hindered his progress as well.<\/p>\n

Pogba had finally put together some good form since the arrival of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer<\/a> last campaign, scoring thirteen goals and assisting nine. He would have looked to continue this into this season, but a recurring ankle injury has restricted him to just eight appearances in all competitions.<\/p>\n

Juventus \u2018Desperate\u2019 for Pogba<\/h3>\n

Juventus are \u2018desperate\u2019 for Pogba, according to the report. They are now willing to sell Miralem Pjanic<\/a>, Douglas Costa<\/a> and Federico Bernardeschi<\/a> to fund a move for the 27-year-old, but this will be much more difficult than usual with the Coronavirus having ripped the world of football apart, including their financial situations.<\/p>\n
