"Juventus" defender P. Pogba: I was unnecessary for Ferguson © EuroFootball.com

"Juventus" defender Paul Pogba explained his decision to leave Manchester United.

Last summer, the 19-year-old player decided not to extend his contract with the English giants and became a free agent, putting on the shirt of the Italian club.

"Red Devils" manager Sir Alex Ferguson did not hide his dissatisfaction with the Frenchman's decision.

However, P. Pogba stated that the long-time decisions of the "Manchester United" coach forced him to look for another club.

"Ferguson did not want me in the Manchester United team," the footballer's words are quoted by the Italian newspaper "Tuttosport". - "I did not extend the contract with the English club because I was not playing."

"At that time, United had problems in the defensive line, but Ferguson practically did not communicate with me. It bothered me a lot, and after a few cup matches, I decided to leave."

"Upon Scholes' arrival, I realized that there were practically no more chances to get on the field. However, I do not regret my decision at all," P. Pogba emphasized.
