A return with great fanfare in 2016, a disappointing record and a sneaky start: there you go, between Paul Pogba and Manchester United, it's well and truly over.

The Mancunian club announced Wednesday on its official website the departure of Paulo "at the end of June, at the expiration of his contract".

If PSG was once mentioned to welcome the 2018 world champion, it is from Italy that the most affirmative information about his future destination comes: the press there evokes a return to Juventus Turin, the team where he lived his best years in club (2012-2016).

Paulo and Man U, the story of a failed comeback

The only thing certain at the moment is that the 29-year-old midfielder will announce his future destination on the occasion of the release on June 17 of a documentary dedicated to him, the “Pogmentary” ( please don't giggle) on Amazon Prime Video.

This news could indeed make you smile (or cry) as the player is coming out of a weak season with Man U.

But we know that Pogboum is rarely discreet.

The story between Pogba and the Red Devils will have been eventful and not really accomplished, marked in 2016 by a record transfer fee at the time (105 million euros), a few trophies like the Europa League 2017, but also injuries , misunderstandings and a lot of whistles (even insults) from the public at Old Trafford, as in the match against Norwich this season.

A return to Juve in the pipeline

He largely disappointed and irritated the English supporters (and the former Mancunian glories), with often mediocre performances, far from those he presented in the France team, and his repeated desires to go elsewhere.

Off the field, the spring was also difficult with a burglary during a match, with his children present at home, and the death in April of his agent, Mino Raiola.

According to the Italian media, Pogba would have agreed to return to Juve and agreed to lower his salary to find the "Old Lady", with whom he notably won four league titles and played in a Champions League final.

It is to be hoped for him that this return to Juve will not be a

repeat

of what he experienced in the north of England.
