Paul Pogba rose through the ranks of the famous French club Le Havre which has a reputation for bringing through extraordinary talent.

Sir Alex Ferguson spotted Pogba's talent and signed the French man when he was just 16. The 25-year-old was in the UEFA European Under-17 Championship team of the season.

He broke through into the first team, and the former Red Devils manager Alex Ferguson promised him game time. But, Pogba did not get enough time on the field and refused to sign a new contract with the Red Devils. This allowed Juventus to pounce on the talented Frenchman.

The youngster was slowly slotted into the first team and went on to make 178 appearances in just 4 seasons for the Old Lady. He was named in the Serie A team of the year four times in a row, FIFAPro World XI and UEFA Team of the year apiece. He lifted four consecutive league titles with Juventus and made a move to his former club Manchester United for a record fee of 105 million Euros in 2016.

The French midfielder was expected to provide better things during his second stint with the club, but he has been underwhelming with the amount of inconsistency. He is expected to make his 100th appearance for the Red Devils against his old club Juventus upon his move two years before. He lifted the Europa League and the League cup during his debut season with Jose Mourinho.
