Speaking to Tuttosport, Paul Pogba's former Juventus teammate Andrea Barzagli said: "In Manchester he suffered the burden of having to prove that he was worth the €105 million invested by Manchester United.
"From the outside, you do not perceive the pressure that a boy must endure when the expectations are very high. If you are a player who scores 60 goals a year, okay, otherwise it is hard to show that you are worth €105 million.
"That weighed a lot. The player, however, is not disputed: he is still young and is one who shifts the balance. He will have a great desire to get back on track. And win. For Juventus it is a great deal.
"Paul knows what it's like to wear this shirt and he knows what it means to win. He brings personality, quality, goals and assists. But what matters most to him is that mix of personality and quality that has come to decline a bit in recent years."
Pogba left Juventus for a record-breaking transfer fee in the summer of 2016 to rejoin Man United but the Frenchman never lived up to his price tag.
The 29-year-old has now returned to Italy after winning only the Europa League and the EFL Cup with the Premier League side.
