He hasn't forgot his friends...

Paul Pogba returned to Turin on Friday for the first since the end of last season.

The 23-year-old midfielder linked-up with France for Euro 2016 in June, then went on holiday to the United States before sealing his transfer to Manchester United for a world record fee.

According to Italian media outlet Tuttosport, Pogba went back to Juventus ahead of United’s 4-1 victory over Leicester City, in which he scored his first goal for the club, to clear out his locker, and returned bearing gifts.

Pogba reportedly bought everyone at the club, from his former teammates, to the coaching staff, doctors, and club officials, a Rolex watch.

Tuttosport claim the gifts could also be seen as an apology from Pogba, a peace offering to his former colleagues, who were left in the dark over his transfer to United.

According to reports during the summer, the Juventus’ players expected Pogba to return to the club and felt let down by his transfer to United.
