Juve announced his arrival in Italy on social media in the early evening with a video of the 29-year-old exiting the airplane which had brought him from Miami with the message “Incoming…”

The 29-year-old had all but announced his comeback on his personal accounts earlier on Friday when he posted a video filmed on the airplane in which he said “see you soon” in Italian while wearing clothes in Juve’s colours of black and white.

World Cup winner Pogba will undergo medical exams on Saturday before signing a four-year deal which will earn him a reported eight million euros a season plus a potential further two million euros in bonuses.

He will rejoin Juve after his contract with Manchester United expired at the end of last month, marking the end of a largely disappointing six years in England.

Dysfunctional United are further away from the top of English football than they were when he joined, having not won a Premier League title in nine years.

The 2017 Europa League and the same season’s League Cup is a poor haul for Pogba at one of the world’s biggest clubs, especially as they both came under Jose Mourinho when he said he suffered from depression.
