Paul Pogba has completed a return to Juventus after his departure from Manchester United.

Midfielder Pogba left United in June following the expiration of his contract, and had long been expected to rejoin his former club in Turin, with that deal officially confirmed on Monday.

The France international will wear the number 10 shirt for the Bianconeri, who also signed Angel Di Maria on a free transfer last week.

Pogba spent four years at Juve during his last spell at the club, having joined on a free transfer from United in 2012.

He left Juve to return to United six years ago, in a then-world record deal worth £89million (€112m).

His move to Old Trafford in 2016 was seen as a statement move by United as they looked to re-establish themselves as English football's premier power after three disappointing years since Alex Ferguson's retirement.

But Pogba's arrival was not the catalyst for a return to the glory years for United, who have not won the Premier League title since 2013.

Despite producing some impressive moments, Pogba has become a representation of United's underachievement in the eyes of many supporters, with his performances rarely at the level most expected for a world-record signing.

His relationship with fans was often fractious and their chants of "f*** off Pogba" – to which he responded by cupping his ear – during the April win over Norwich City suggested a parting of ways was likely the best option for all parties.

He leaves United having won the Europa League and EFL Cup once apiece.

While Juve have strengthened by bringing in Di Maria and Pogba, they look set to sell defender Matthijs de Ligt to fellow European heavyweights Bayern Munich.
