Once tipped for great things at Manchester United as a teenager, Paul Pogba turns 29 years of age without having truly lived up to the lofty expectations placed on his shoulders.
That is of course only at Old Trafford - while donning the colours of Juventus or the blue of his France national side he has often looked every inch a world beater. Yet there are a whole host of factors that have seemingly blocked his passage into becoming one of the world's best at United.
Having risen through the United youth set-up after joining from French outfit Le Havre in 2009, Pogba made his first-team debut during the latter days of Sir Alex Ferguson's lengthy reign as manager after he was called up for the FA Cup clash at home to Crawley Town.
