Player Profile - Rising Star Paul Pogba

Paul Pogba the young french midfielder who is predicted to be the Rising Star, Pogba joins Juventus from Manchester United with free transfer. The 19th years old player refuse to extend the contract with Manchester United eventhough the club has offered him a new contract and an opportunity to be the first team member next season.


Pogba is a Defensive/Centre Midfielder which a perfect solution for Juventus to be a substitute for their three central midfielder (Pirlo,Marchisio,Vidal) considering the team is participate in Champions League this season. Pogba was played 90 minutes on Trofeo Berlusconi last night to replace Andrea Pirlo who is not physically fit for the match. The Debut is going well the team is win by 3-2 against AC Milan. 

In Manchester United Pogba mostly played in the Premier Reserves League , played for 19 matches Pogba managed to scored 3 goals and 7 assist. Pogba only played 7 games for Manchester United fist team 3 games in League Cup, 3 games in Premier League and 1 game in Europa League all as a substitute.

It is interesting to follow this player career in Serie A personally i think he has made a right decision by joining Juventus and will get more chance to be played rather than in his former club.
