The Italian giants signed the Frenchman on a free transfer, while he was a young prodigy within the Red Devils in 2012.

However, they have distanced themselves from any possible reunion with the 28-year-old whose contract with United expires next summer.

Despite the World Cup winner potentially being available for a free transfer next season, Juventus sporting director Federico Cherubini has said the club will instead be looking for younger, upcoming talents to bolster the side.

“Any investment will go in the direction of a young profile. I plan to bet on another type of player.”

Raiola told Corriere Dello Sport : “Pogba’s contract expires next year. We’ll talk with Manchester United and we’ll see.

“Of course, Turin stayed in his heart and he cares a lot about these things.

“The possibility of him coming back is there, but it also depends on Juve.”

Pogba won four Serie A titles with the Bianconeri, as well as two Italian Cups and Super Cups, during his four year stay with the club.

His devastating performances for the 36-time Italian champions prompted United to bring the Frenchman back to Old Trafford for a world record fee of £89m.

While he has enjoyed some periods of brilliance with the Red Devils, his spell with the Reds could best be described as mix.

However, he has started the season in absolutely amazing fashion.

He has already registered seven Premier League assists in just five appearances, even recording four assists in United’s opening day 5-1 demolition of fierce rivals Leeds United.

He was also involved in United’s dramatic 2-1 away victory to West Ham United; playing on the left-hand side of a front four.

“Paul has yet to decide whether he intends to stay at Manchester United or leave next summer,” said Mathias Pogba.
