'They gave away Pogba so easily, they must have known something: ex-Juventus boss accuses Man United of hiding Paul's injury

Speaking to TuttoMercatoWeb, former Juventus manager Luigi Maifredi said: "Let's say that Juventus were not lucky in their signings.

"Paul Pogba has not yet been part of the team. Behind the failure of the team there is also the poor performance of the transfer campaign.

"Then let's face it, if Manchester United gave away Pogba so easily, they must have known something…

"He was caught out and he was a nearly injured player and these are the consequences for Juventus this season."

Pogba is yet to play a single minute for Juventus this season after joining the Serie A giants on a free transfer last summer.

The Frenchman, who was turned down several contract renewal opportunities at Man United, will miss the World Cup with a knee injury.
