(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 11 - World Cup winning France midfielder Paul Pogba returned to Juventus Monday six years after leaving them as a 23-year-old for Man Utd.
    The 29-year-old is a free agent with his contract at United at an end.
    The 2018 World Cup-winner helped Juve claim four Serie A titles and two Italian Cups during his 2012-16 stint in Turin.
    Juve have had a harder time in the last two years, dropping out of Italian soccer's top three.
    They have also been unable to reach the Champions League quarter finals since 2019.
    Pogba, who has 91 France caps and 11 goals for his country, is reportedly set to earn around eight million euros a season in the four-year deal.
    "Paul is back in Turin, he left us as a boy and returns as a man and a world-class player, but there's one thing that hasn't changed: his desire to write more unforgettable chapters together," the Old Lady tweeted.
    "We couldn't be happier: Paul is with us once again.
    The two-time European champs and record 36-time scudetto winners said "when you say goodbye, after a wonderful adventure lived together, in a corner of your heart there is always the little hope of seeing someone again, sooner or later".
    Pogba started off well at Utd but suffered ups and downs in the last two years. (ANSA).
