Manchester United 's record signing Paul Pogba was reportedly warned ahead of making the move back to Old Trafford, but the Frenchman is looking to make amends for his error and return to Juventus.
Pogba joined Juventus on a free transfer in 2012 after rejecting a new deal at United, and the Frenchman became one of the most sought after midfielders in Europe. United then signed their former star for £89million, although it's been a frustrating six-year spell back at Old Trafford.
The midfielder is now linked with a return to Turin where he played his best football, and is reportedly in advanced talks with Massimilano Allegri's side.
But Pogba could have avoided a dry six-year slump at United if he had listened to the advice of former team-mate Claudio Marchisio.

With Pogba preparing to leave United for free again, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus have already put a three-year deal on the table. Pogba's representatives will meet Juventus in the coming days as he makes a decision on his future, with Paris Saint Germain also interested.
Pogba is reportedly convinced about the rebuilding project at Juventus, but hasn’t decided yet. But Juventus are growing increasingly confident that they can reach a deal with their former star.
But Pogba's old team-mate Marchisio told him to never move back to United in the first place, and has since called for the Frenchman to come back to the Old Lady. Marchisio opened up to the Daily Mail, and said: "He [Pogba] is the player that impressed me the most for the huge evolution that he had in Juventus because he arrived as a boy.

"Me, [Arturo] Vidal and [Andrea] Pirlo immediately understood his enormous potential and that's what he showed. We also became friends and as a friend I told him that Manchester United couldn't be the right solution for him, the right choice.
