Paul Pogba played against Watford after returning from injury

It is believed that Juventus manager Maurizio Sarri is not happy with his midfielders. Only Miralem Pjanic has been able to convince the Italian. On the other hand, players like Blaise Matuidi and Sami Khedira have not been able to play according to the manager’s expectations. They have had a season plagued with injury. Paul Pogba has been frequently linked with a move away from Old Trafford. He has been linked largely with a return to Turin or to Real Madrid. Irrespective of the rumours, Pogba had a brilliant game against Watford. The French International came off the bench after Manchester United were already 2-0 down. This was his first appearance for the Red Devils after he last played against Arsenal on September 30. Pogba had a decent game with 90% passing accuracy, along with two long balls, two passes in the box, one through ball and one key pass.
