Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini says they'd welcome Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba back to the club.

United's World Cup-winning midfielder, 25, lines up against Chelsea in Saturday lunchtime's heavyweight clash at Stamford Bridge.

Juventus sold Pogba for £89 million in 2016 but Italy skipper Chiellini, 34, said: “Pogba? We'd gladly welcome him back.

“He is special. He was kissed by mother nature with talent, like LeBron James or [Usain] Bolt."

Pogba spent four years at Juventus, lifting four Serie A titles and two Coppa Italia trophies after leaving United.

Chiellini added: “He only has to become a bigger leader on the field, the moral abilities are there.

“But he is only 25 years old and there is too much responsibility for him."
