Paul Pogba transferred to Manchester United from Juventus for a world record fee of £89 million in 2016, having moved to Italy from the Red Devils academy four years prior.
He endured difficult times at Old Trafford, often disrupted by injuries and inconsistent performances which made him a villain in the eyes of United fans.
The French international rejoined Juventus for the second time on a free transfer at the end of last season, after Man United brought his time there to an end after a six-year relationship.
Pogba dropped for disciplinary reasons
Pogba made his second debut for the Bianconeri on February 28 in the Turin derby against Torino, following a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a knee injury that ruled him out of the 2022 World Cup, as reported by Goal.
As reported by Sky Italia, the Frenchman has been dropped from the squad to face SC Freiburg in the UEFA Europa League later today after he turned up for Wednesday’s retreat late, much to the anger of manager, Massimiliano Allegri.
Fan reactions to Pogba’s indiscipline
The 29-year-old is no stranger to disciplinary issues, having previously clashed with Jose Mourinho during the Portuguese manager’s time with the Red Devils. This famously led to the Special One calling the World Cup winner a ‘virus’.

Last year, he angered Allegri during injury rehab by undertaking a very risky personal activity while on holiday.
Pogba uploaded a video of himself on a ski trip despite nursing a knee injury that delayed his second Juve debut.
