When Luke Shaw was asked last week what Paul Pogba had brought to Manchester United, the left back quipped: "A lot of dance moves in the dressing room!" It was a harmless attempt at humor but nobody else was laughing — except for maybe Juventus general director Beppe Marotta, who revealed at the club's annual shareholders' assembly on Tuesday that the Italian champions had made a 72 million euro ($78.5M) net profit on the Frenchman's world-record transfer to Old Trafford.
However, the sad fact of the matter is that while Pogba's move to Manchester represents a great deal for both the midfielder's agent, Mino Raiola, who made a sickening €27 million on the transaction, and the Bianconeri's bank balance, it is not working out well for either the player or his former club.
