Juventus have announced on the club official website that they have
completed the signing of Paul Pogba
from Manchester
United. The 19-year-
old had already featured for the
Bianconeri in the club's 1-1
friendly draw against Benfica FC, but only now have the Serie A
champions announced the deal. Pogba has signed a four-year
deal which will keep him at Juventus until 2016 after his
contract with the United expired at the end of last season.
"I am very happy to be here, it is
a real honour," he told Juventus. "I have been told that
there is a very good standard of
play and the fans support their
favourites team greatly. "I hope they take me and support me in the
same way they have been doing. "Pogba, an Under-19
international for Francce, is a
product of the Le Havre youth
academy, but left the French side for Manchester United in 2009 summer.
He made his Premier League debut against Stoke City in January 2012,
but he found
playing opportunities very hard to come by at Old Trafford,
making only three more competitive appearances in the
second half of the last season.
