but I get the feeling Pogba's real "dream" was to end up at Real. Which, after his middling Euros, was never gonna happen. Despite how much Zidane might want him, and especially with Kroos having a very strong tournament.
In that context going to United seems like more of a fallback plan, and not an unrisky one considering Mou. Another year at Juve, playing his favorite position, would've only enhanced his prospects IMO. Although I can totally see him wanting to go back to "conquer" the Prem.
