Paul Pogba reveals why he left Man Utd in 2012

Manchester United star Paul Pogba has released an interview with Esquire.co.uk talking about several issues: from his return to Manchester United after four years at Juventus, to his happiness for the trophies he won back at the Old Trafford.
The Frenchman was asked why he left the Red Devils in 2012
and his answer was pretty straightforward.

"I left Manchester to play. That's all I wanted. Even though I was young, I felt I could play now and I didn't want to wait. So if it wasn't with Manchester it would be with someone else. But in my mind, I knew: 'It's not finished, I might come back.' My mum told me this: 'You'll come back one day.' And here I am: having a haircut in Manchester."

As for his former boss Sir Alex Ferguson, Pogba said: "I couldn't[understand him]. At first, I couldn't. I couldn't even understand my team-mates with their Mancunian accents. They'd speak fast and I'd say, 'Speak slow, slow…' I couldn't speak. My friends right now, they laugh at me. They say, 'Oh, I remember the first days you couldn't speak and now, you just speak better than us. You speak Mancunian with the accent!' So it's funny."
