Andrea Pirlo has revealed everyone at Juventus could not believe that Manchester United
allowed a talent like Paul Pogba to leave the club so easily.
Pogba left Old Trafford on a free transfer in 2012 and since then he has become one of the most highly-rated players in world football.
The Old Lady’s current No.10 is in his fourth season in Turin and the 23-year-old has already won three Serie A titles, the Coppa Italia and appeared in a Champions League final.
The France international also made the Fifa World XI for 2015 for the first time in his career, and Pirlo has admitted that Juve were shocked to see United let him leave so easily considering the talent he possessed.
“I have played with some great young players, but Pogba was the best young player I have ever seen,” said the 36-year-old, as reported by the Daily Mirror.
“We saw from his first training session with Juventus that he was special. There was a disbelief among the senior players that Manchester United had allowed him to leave.
“Since then he has grown physically and as a player. For me he is now the most complete central midfield player in the world.”

Pirlo lined up alongside Pogba for the
first three seasons he was in Italy, but the ageing icon swapped Italy
for America last year as he joined New York City FC, a club created by
Manchester City to compete in Major League Soccer.
And Pogba could be on the move himself this summer with plenty of reports linking him with a move to the Etihad Stadium to join Man City’s revolution under Pep Guardiola, and judging by Pirlo’s praise of him, the Italian would certainly approve.
