Juventus hero Marchisio: I told Pogba Man Utd wrong choice

Former Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio told Paul Pogba he was wrong to quit Turin for Manchester United.

Pogba opted to make the move back to Old Trafford after four successful seasons with Italian giants Juve, rejoining United in a club-record £89million move.

Asked about the prospect of Pogba rejoining Juve this summer, Marchisio told Tuttosport: "I would be very happy.

"I told him that he was wrong to go to Manchester and that if he really wanted to change he should choose Spain.

"Having said that, his return would be extremely positive, Paul would be reborn in the environment he loves and pampers him the most.

"And he would give Juventus a lot as they need someone like him in the middle: he is a great professional."
