Paul Pogba made a comeback to Manchester United for a club and world record fee of £89 million and although many questioned the price paid for his services, it was worth noting he had made giant strides and become a world-class player under Conte at Juventus.
Having received the young and frustrated midfielder from Old Trafford, the Italian coach made it a priority to groom Pogba into the player he is today. Spectacular shots, tackles and defence-splitting passes have fallen into Pogba’s bracket of attributes.
Although the apparent talent could be spotted while young at Carrington, he was never the end product until Conte nurtured and gave him the opportunity at Juventus. He quickly became a powerhouse in the midfield that also had Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal.
When fit and in rhythm, Pogba can drag his side into major victories with his supreme technical ability, which was honed under Conte. The current Chelsea manager was reported to have taken him through physical drills and guided every touch of his on the pitch, to help him become a top class midfielder – that influence cannot be understated.
