Alex Ferguson won’t agree with Paul Pogba’s comments about life at Manchester United

"Like a vacation"

Simon Lloyd

Paul Pogba left Manchester United back in 2012, but the Frenchman still can’t resist having a dig at his former club.

After rejecting the chance to renew his contract with United, Pogba switched to Juventus – claiming that he wasn’t given a fair chance to show what he could do at Old Trafford.The young Frenchman became a regular for Juve immediately, and has helped them to three consecutive Serie A titles and a Champions League final appearance.

Discussing his time in Italy, Pogba has stressed that Juventus’ success has been the result of hard work. In fact, training sessions there are so tough, they appear to have made training at United seem like a holiday.Pogba

“People ought to know that it is not easy at Juve,” he is quoted as saying by La Stampa. “There is a culture of work that is different to anything else abroad.

“I was at Manchester United and I can tell you it made me feel like being on vacation in comparison to Juve.

“We work so hard here, because all the Scudetti were down to hard work.”

Pogba continues to be linked with a move away from Juventus, with a return to Manchester said to be an option. Although United have been mentioned, it seems that there are more reports linking him with a move to City.
