Manchester United's French legion: As Paul Pogba prepares for his debut these are their Gallic hits and misses

The countdown has well and truly begun to Paul Pogba's second debut for Manchester United following his return to Old Trafford.

The world will get its first glimpse at the most-expensive player in history in action for his new club when United take on Southampton in the first Friday night game of the season.

Pogba has already been a United player, before a bust-up with Sir Alex Ferguson saw him depart for Juventus in 2012. He is one of 12 Frenchmen to have played for the club.

Those Gallic buys have met with mixed success at the Theatre of Dreams.
