Paul Pogba explained his reasons for returning to Old Trafford. His mother, the player told the club's media, always knew that no matter how many teams he passed through, he would return again and again to Manchester United. His brother also encouraged him to become a "red devil".

At Old Trafford, they took advantage of the break for COVID-19 to interview Paul Pogba. The midfielder reviewed his sporting career.

Pogba left United in 2012 and then returned in 2016. The Frenchman opened up and admitted it was his mother who brought him back.

"My mother always told me that I would go away to more places, but that I would come back again and again to United," Pogba said.

And his insistence finally paid off: "You know how mothers are, the things they say. She said, 'You'll come back here, don't worry and that was soon after I left United... She insisted that I would come back to Manchester. And I did," she continued.

His brother also insisted that he leave Juve: "He is a United fan. He was angry because he did not play, even more than me. And he told me to leave, that if they didn't want me there, I could play at Old Trafford."

As for the present, Pogba admitted that he is not enjoying himself at all due to the injury that has kept him away from the pitch. "I've never experienced anything like this. I've been fruity for a long time. Now I'm almost ready, I'm just thinking about going back," he concluded.
