“Still one of the best in the world” – Wojciech Szczesny looks exhilarated to play with Paul Pogba as the Frenchman eyes a Juventus return

Paul Pogba would be welcomed back at Juventus with open arms after leaving Manchester United, according to Bianconeri goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, who says the midfielder remains one of the world’s finest players.

United announced on Wednesday that Pogba is to depart Old Trafford when his contract expires this month, 10 years after originally leaving the Red Devils to join Juventus.

Since then, Pogba has been strongly linked with another return to a former club, with Juve looking to add dynamism to their midfield after finishing fourth in consecutive Serie A seasons.

Former Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny claims the midfielder remains an elite talent and would be an excellent signing for the Old Lady outfit.

“Yes, we’d welcome him back he did brilliantly in his previous time at Juventus so he would be a great addition to the squad. He is a player with good calibre and experience, and he has good memories from Turin,” Szczesny said of the 29-year-old four-time Serie A winner.

“I’d be delighted to see that happen. He’s absolutely still a top player. Maybe over the last couple of years, the consistency of his game and the injuries didn’t help at United. But when he is fit, he is still one of the best in the world,” he added.
