Paul Pogba told he will be of "no use" unless he rediscovers form after Man Utd exit

Fabio Cannavaro has questioned Paul Pogba's performances at Manchester United ahead of his potential return to Juventus.

The World Cup winner, 29, struggled to impress during his second spell at Old Trafford following his world-record transfer from Juventus in the summer of 2016, winning just two major honours - the EFL Cup and Europa League - in six seasons.

Pogba will leave United when his contract expires this month and Juventus are leading the race to sign him. He won eight trophies during his first spell in Turin - including four Serie A titles - and played in the 2015 Champions League final, losing 3-1 to Barcelona.

Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are also thought to be interested in signing Pogba. Yet Cannavaro believes he will be "no use" to France or his next club if he fails to rediscover his best form. Pogba has scored just eight club goals in the last three seasons.

"Pogba to Juve? I hope to see the real Paul again, the one from the first Juventus experience," Cannavaro told Tuttomercatoweb via the Manchester Evening News. "He has to find the reasons. The midfielder of recent seasons is of no use to Juventus or France."

Pogba's United exit was confirmed last week. "I feel privileged to have played for this club," The midfielder wrote on Instagram. "Many beautiful moments and memories but most importantly an unconditional support from the fans. Thank you Manchester United."
