"Juventus" club defender Paul Pogba spoke about the reasons for his decision to leave the "Manchester United" team. Last summer, the leader of the French youth national team joined the Italian champions as a free agent. P. Pogba stated that he decided to leave "Man Utd" after then-team manager Sir Alex Ferguson did not give him a chance on New Year's Eve. "I told Ferguson: let me onto the field and we will see if I am ready. In the match against the "Blackburn" team on December 31, 2011, I was on the bench, and Ferguson put Rafael and Ji-sung Park in the midfield. I was very disappointed," the Frenchman told "Telefoot." "I came to Turin to silence the people who criticized me and did not believe in me." The 20-year-old defender shone last season - in the "Serie A" championship, the footballer played 27 matches and scored 5 goals."
