Rio Ferdinand Says Paul Pogba's Idol at Manchester United Was Ravel Morrison

The French midfielder spent three years learning his trade in the Old Trafford academy, before growing frustrated by a lack of first-team opportunities and joining Juventus in 2012. He's since gone on to establish himself as one of the best midfielders in the game.

While developing his game at Manchester United, Pogba won't have lacked role models to look up to in the first team—Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs to name but two.
