Juventus confirm Pogba deal


Juventus have completed the signing of Paul Pogba from Manchester United, the Serie A club announced on Friday.
The 19-year-old had already featured for Juventus in the club's 1-1 friendly draw against Benfica, prior to the official deal being confirmed.

Frenchman Pogba has signed a four-year deal which will keep him at Juventus until 2016 after his contract with the Red Devils expired at the end of last season.

"I am very happy to be here, it is a real honour," he told Juventus' website. "I have been told that there is a very good standard of play and the fans support their favourites.

"I hope they take me and support me in the same way."

Pogba, an Under-19 international for France, is a product of the Le Havre youth academy, but left the French side for Manchester United in 2009.

He made his Premier League debut against Stoke City in January 2012, but found playing opportunities limited and only lined up in three top-flight games for Sir Alex Ferguson's side.
