Why Juventus should never have re-signed this former Man Utd midfielder

Former Juventus midfielder Alessio Tacchinardi in a statement stressed that the club should never have re-signed Paul Pogba last year.

Pogba, who returned to Turin from Manchester United in 2022, has been provisionally suspended by the Old Ladies after testing positive for testosterone this week.

Speaking about the development, Tacchinardi in a statement quoted by the Italian outlet, Tuttomercatoweb the Old Ladies should have looked for a more solid midfielder.

He said: “Many other players, when they returned to Italy after many years, had a similar parable and did much more struggles to repeat himself.

“Kakà, Shevchenko and Vidal come to mind, but there are many others. Beyond this doping issue, I would have looked for a more solid midfielder in any case because it was clear that he [Pogba] was not the same player as before.

“And to get those figures, you have to be a Rabiot, who plays 40 games of solidity and intensity.”
