Pogba continued as the candid interview progressed, “At first my mum told me I would come back here and I told her, 'you never know, we will see', and for myself it was a big challenge for me to come back to where I started. I didn't finish what I started here so I think I came to finish it."
Pogba soon added his objectives, however, feels the price tag doesn’t change his focus and the objective remains the same. He said: "I only think about the pitch. I want to do great, I want to be one of the best, I want to win titles, I want to achieve things. I'm focused on this and I'm just ready to go... and just kill it!"

I always had this United thing in my heart and that’s why I came back. And I'm happy. Just happy. I've got more experience, I've won titles at Juventus, I've been playing with big players. I come back as an adult, with experience, more games. That’s the difference.'
