In a recent revelation, Paul Pogba disclosed that he turned down an opportunity to join Manchester City when he left Manchester United. The French midfielder, who is currently playing for Juventus after rejoining from United, stated that he had serious reservations about moving to a rival club. He expressed concerns that his life would become unbearable among United fans if he made such a switch.
Pogba confirmed the longstanding rumors of City’s interest during a series of interviews, emphasizing his loyalty to Manchester United despite the challenging circumstances he faced during his time there. His decision highlights the complex relationship players have with their clubs, especially when considering a move to a direct competitor.
The midfielder’s loyalty is particularly noteworthy given the turbulent nature of his final years at United. While Pogba’s performances drew criticism from some fans, he maintained a strong attachment to the club, which likely influenced his decision against joining City, even as they were emerging as a dominant force in English football.
