Young defender Paul Pogba leaves and heads to Italy, where he will wear the Turin jersey.

The 19-year-old footballer's contract has expired, so he signed a contract with the "Serie A" champions as a free agent.

"Pogba chose Juventus a long time ago. It, of course, disappointed us greatly," said coach Sir Alex Ferguson. "I don't think Paul showed us the respect we deserved, so I'm glad this chapter is over."

Next season, Pogba will compete for a place in the starting lineup with midfielders such as Claudio Marchisio, Andrea Pirlo, Milos Krasic, Felipe Melo, and Simone Pepe.
