Paul Pogba ‘doesn’t feel he made mistakes’ at Manchester United despite six underwhelming seasons at Old Trafford as he starts a second stint with Juventus.
The French midfielder, who has re-signed for the Turin club on a free transfer after running down his United contract, said ‘destiny’ had brought him back to the club he represented between 2012 and 2016.
Pogba, 29, was officially unveiled to the media on Tuesday afternoon after signing a four-year contract over the weekend.

He said: ‘I believe in destiny, I am happy with all the choices I’ve made. That’s life.
‘I am happy about these years at Manchester, I’ve become a man, I don’t feel I’ve made mistakes.
‘I am happy now. Who knows, had I won, choices could have been different.’
He blamed the churn of managers at United and injury issues for failing to fulfil the expectations that came with his world record £89million price tag.
‘When you play for a team and change coach every season it’s hard,’ he said.
‘It’s true that I was injured sometimes. It was a bit of everything. Coach, team, change of roles, these things blocked me a little.
‘Now, it’s another Paul, another Pogba and hopefully, I won’t have many injuries, I’ll feel well and play in my role, doing better than in the last seasons.’
