The world's most expensive footballer is back in Manchester, but had been linked to a move to Pep Guardiola's side in the past few transfer windows.
Once upon a time Manchester City identified Paul Pogba as a transfer target but for a number of reasons a deal was left incomplete.
Pogba was seemingly unwilling to leave Juventus last summer when news of City’s interest materialized, having already begun his preseason preparations while City was deterred by Juve’s mammoth asking price. It was probably for the best. There is no doubt that Pogba at 23 remains a player of awesome potential but his needs are best served somewhere else – away from Pep Guardiola.
