After finally making his Juventus debut, Paul Pogba received texts from his old teammates, proving that he still has friends at Manchester United.
Paul Pogba joined the Serie A team after leaving Old Trafford, for the second time, on a free transfer last summer.
The first time it happened was when he was a teenager and he went on to become one of the world’s top midfielders in Italy. United then paid an eye-watering £89m to get him back, only for him to walk away again six years later for nothing.
Yet, given that he fell short of his promise and had numerous public disagreements, including one with manager Jose Mourinho, it wasn’t a huge loss for the Red Devils.
Even though he re-joined Juventus last summer, he had to wait until the end of February to make his second debut.
A knee injury kept him on the sidelines for a lengthy period, followed by numerous setbacks, and even ruled him out of the World Cup.
He featured in Juve’s 4-2 derby win over Torino, his first competitive fixture for 315 days.
Pogba’s last appearance had been Manchester United’s 4-0 defeat to Liverpool in April 2022.

He injured his calf that effectively ended his United career, then had a separate knee problem he picked up in pre-season.
Despite leaving the Manchester club under a cloud, he still clearly has friends there.
The 29-year-old put a post on Instagram that said: “All smiles for tonight, so happy to be back. Thank you for the warm welcome.”
Marcus Rashford replied with a heart emoji, while Jadon Sancho wrote: “My brother, welcome back!”
