Paul Pogba struggled to live up to expectations during his second spell at Manchester United because he was 'burdened' by his £89million price tag, according to his former teammate Andrea Barzagli.
The Frenchman left Juventus to become United's club-record signing back in the summer of 2016. However, Pogba has failed to live up to expectations since his seismic switch and is now on the cusp of sealing a sensational return to Turin after running down his deal at Old Trafford.
Pogba has been criticised for deciding to quit United for a second time after his underwhelming displays, but Barzagli has leapt to Pogba's defence. Barzagli played alongside the midfielder during Pogba's first spell at Juventus – and he is adamant that Pogba was weighed down by his huge price tag.
