Paul Pogba reveals why he left Manchester United

Paul Pogba has revealed why he walked out on Manchester United in 2012 - but revealed his mother told him he would be back.
French star Pogba left United for nothing five years ago, only to return in 2016 following four years with Juventus, costing the Red Devils a world record fee of £89million.

Pogba returned after his spell in Turin as a household name and a global superstar, and after his debut campaign as the world's most-expensive footballer, now graces the cover of Esquire magazine.
The France international made 51 appearances for United in all competitions last term, as they landed three trophies: the Community Shield, League Cup and Europa League.

Next term, Jose Mourinho's men are preparing for both the Champions League and a Premier League title challenge, with Pogba at the heart of the side.
And Pogba says that while he always hoped to return to United, his mother knew he would.

“I left Manchester to play. That’s all I wanted," Pogba told Esquire. "Even though I was young, I felt I could play now and I didn’t want to wait.

"So if it wasn’t with Manchester it would be with someone else. But in my mind, I knew: ‘It’s not finished, I might come back.’
"My mum told me this: ‘You’ll come back one day.’ And here I am.”

Pogba is currently on holiday in Los Angeles, having also visited Mecca and China while on his summer break.
