Ferguson furious at Pogba leaving for Juventus

July 04, 2012 01:38 am | Updated 01:38 am IST - MANCHESTER

Alex Ferguson blasted French teenager Paul Pogba for being disrespectful in leaving Manchester United for Juventus.

Ferguson announced the midfielder’s departure on Manchester United TV, adding - “Pogba signed for Juventus a long time ago as far as we’re aware.”

Pogba, 19, was considered one of the best talents to come out of United’s academy lately, but he rejected all offers of a new deal with the club last season.

“(It) is disappointing. I don’t think he showed us any respect at all, to be honest,” Ferguson said. “I’m quite happy that if they carry on that way, they’re probably better doing it away from us.”
