Pogba reveals he rejected Lyon for Man Utd move
Posted Wednesday, April 15, 2020 by Tribalfootball.com
Paul Pogba says it was an easy decision from him to leave France for Manchester United as a teenager.
The World Cup winner was 16 when he swapped Le Havre for Carrington, rejecting overtures from French club Lyon.
Speaking with United's official podcast, Pogba was asked how difficult it was to leave his homeland.
He replied: "Easy. It's Manchester United. To be honest, I was about to sign at Lyon so they wanted me to sign professional but, because I say it, people used to talk to me and say: 'Don't go. Don't go outside. It's going to be difficult. Stay in France'.
"I said: 'No, they're the biggest club in the world. This comes only once in our life'. I took it. Well, it came twice for me, yes that's true!"
