Tahith Chong: Another Paul Pogba saga?

It’s not the first time that the Juventus hierarchy has snapped up a Manchester United youngster for free. Paul Pogba, who ran out his contract in 2012, joined Juventus for a free transfer before making a world record move back to Manchester United. While there’s a chance that of another Pogba situation developing, it is unlikely with the competition for places at Juventus. Juventus already have the likes of Douglas Costa, Mario Mandzukic, Paulo Dybala, Federico Bernadeschi at their disposal and it’ll be more difficult to break into the Juventus team than Manchester United.
