Paul Pogba can be forgiven for finding the going tough at Manchester United because it is “hard to show that you are worth €105 million (£89m/$107m)”, says the Frenchman’s former Juventus team-mate Andrea Barzagli.
A mercurial France international is in the process of completing a retracing of steps to Turin after six largely frustrating seasons at Old Trafford – with a 2016 transfer there making him the most expensive player on the planet at the time.
Pogba did win trophies during his first season back in England under Jose Mourinho, but struggled for form and fitness for long periods and is heading back to Italian football as a free agent with plenty still to prove at club level.
