Pogba yearned for Juventus
Juventus teen prospect Paul Pogba said his desire to join the Serie A leaders blossomed over the off-season.
Fresh from scoring his first goal in Juve colours during the team's 2-0 victory over Napoli on Saturday, the 19-year-old highlighted the role former France and Juventus midfielder Patrick Vieira played in helping him select his destination of choice, once he decided to depart Manchester United.
"There were other teams interested in me over the summer, but I wanted to sign for Juventus," Pogba told Sky Sport Italia.
"Many French champions have played here. I spoke to Vieira and he advised me to come to Juventus.
"I'm really happy and proud of my first goal in the black and white stripes. In those moments you don't think about anything. You try to shoot and that's all."
