Paul Pogba has confirmed that he turned down the chance to join Barcelona and Real Madrid in favor of a move to Manchester United because he felt he had unfinished business at Old Trafford.

French midfielder left Juventus for the ‘Red Devils’ in a record deal with a value of almost 90 million pounds in August 2016, returning to the club he left in 2012, but he could have continued his career in La Liga, but he did not want to do this.

“I came to Manchester United, because I have certain goals. This is a big challenge for me, “said Pogba for SFR Sport.

“I was able to join Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​who were interested in my signature. But I chose to go back to United, because I followed my heart “.

“I want to win trophies with Manchester United, I’ve never won anything here. I always told myself that I will return one day to United. It’s a club that I love, and I have unfinished business here. I left because I wanted to play more, but I felt that I was not done here yet. ”

“I’m not thinking about the transfer fee. I came here to play football, “concluded the French midfielder.
