Capello: Juventus got a fantastic deal selling Paul Pogba at £89m

The former Bianconeri boss has suggested that a man offloaded to Manchester United in 2016 has struggled to justify what was a record-breaking fee

Former Juventus boss Fabio Capello claims the Serie A champions got “a fantastic deal” selling Paul Pogba to Manchester United for £89 million ($118m).

After four years in Turin, the France international decided to return to Old Trafford for a second spell in the summer of 2016.

The deal which took him back to England was the costliest in world football at the time, but the 25-year-old has struggled to justify that price tag amid constant criticism of his game and off-field activity.
