Arsenal and Chelsea target Paul Pogba REVEALS real reason for leaving Manchester United Paul Pogba has revealed that Sir Alex Ferguson's decision to overlook him for a match against Blackburn Rovers in 2011 was the real reason why he left Manchester United.
.
The 20-year-old combative midfielder signed a four- year contract at Italian giants Juventus in the summer of 2012 after failing to establish himself in the first-team at Old Trafford.
.
Pogba, who helped the Bianconeri to the Serie A title last season, admitted he gave up on his United career after being snubbed for the new year's eve clash with Rovers.
.
"I said to Ferguson: 'Play me, and I will show you if I'm ready or not'," the French international told Telefoot.
.
"Against Blackburn, on December 31, 2011, I was on the bench. Ferguson puts Rafael in midfield with Ji Sung Park. Then I gave up. I was really bummed.
.
"I joined Juve to silence people who have criticised me, who did not believe in me and said that I would fail."
.
The midfielder has been a huge success at Juventus since joining making 38 appearances in his debut season, netting five times.
.
Pogba has already made a good start to the new campaign scoring twice in seven outings, with unbeaten Juventus sitting third in the table five points behind leaders Roma.
.
The former United star is currently in talks to extend his stay with the Italian champions, with interest mounting from Premier League duo Arsenal and Chelsea.
Well sometimes it's the coach's decision when it comes to selection of players. Juventus is where he is nw so he shld forget abt the past!
