Patrice Evra has revealed his regret at Manchester United's failure to keep hold of Paul Pogba who joined Juventus last year. Evra believes his France team-mate is a special talent who won the support and respect of United's dressing room.
It is a well known fact that the 20-year-old midfielder left Old Trafford because he could never find a regular first-team place up under Sir Alex Ferguson. Praising the youngster's talent, Evra said,
His talent on the pitch, his aggression, his presence, is very rare. He very quickly earned the respect of players like Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes. It's true that you have to win over the manager too, but to have won the dressing room like he did was impressive. It was truly a huge loss when he left the club.
Pogba has so far made eight appearances for the Serie A giants and he recently scored the winning goal in a 1-0 victory over Torino, helping Juventus up to third in the Serie A standings.

Its Official! Paul Pogba is a Manchester United player and can represent the Red Devils soon.
FIFA have cleared teenager Paul Pogba to join Barclays Premier League giant Manchester United after a judge ruled the decision in United's favor. In delivering his judgment, the judge wholly accepted Manchester United's argument as to why international transfer clearance should be issued immediately, dismissing all Le Havre's submissions.
The saga of Paul Pogba's transfer has been very disturbing for all those associated with the Old Trafford outfit. His previous club, French outfit Le Havre was so furious with United's poaching methods that their club president Jean-Pierre Louvel leveled serious allegations against United scouts, Sir Alex Ferguson and United's Chief Executive David Gill. But all that has now become silent as FIFA has ruled the decision in United's favor.
"Manchester United is pleased to confirm that the Football Association has been authorised by FIFA to register Paul Pogba as a Manchester United player with immediate effect," said a statement on United's website.
Soon we will see Paul Pogba in United's training ground. I can't wait to see him in action.
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson poached French midfield starlet Paul Pogba from French Ligue 2 outfit Le Havre, under the nose of Arsenal chief Arsene Wenger. The 16 year old who has been a regular in the France under 16 national team had been attracting lot of interest from United, Arsenal and Liverpool.However, the arrival of United’s new 16-year old prodigy has created a bit of controversy. His current employers Le Harve have been frustrated at the way United have hijacked one of their star players. Le Havre claim that the 16-year-old was bound by an agreement with the club until at least the end of the 2009/10 season. But United offered big money for the youngster’s services, which forced his parents to cut short that agreement and send their son to England.
This news has also created lot of fire in England because one of United's fieriest rivals - Arsenal were also looking to get Pogba. But they could only watch one of their targets move to Manchester. This signing marks a triumph for Ferguson who hasn't been able to dominate the French market in the past few years due to Wenger's name and his contacts.
What might also frustrate Wenger is that Fergie is trying to add another French star to the squad. His name is Frank Ribery. Yeah, you read it right. United are in touch with Bayern over the transfer of Ribery. It seems United will table a bid of around 35 million for the French star. Although Bayern have so far rejected all offers for Ribery, but my hunch says that he just might choose United over other clubs. What do you think?
