Verratti: Juventus couldn't refuse Pogba offer

PSG midfielder Marco Verratti can understand Juventus selling Paul Pogba to Manchester United.

Pogba made a winning debut for United on Friday night against Southampton.

Verratti, meanwhile, opined: "The farewell Pogba will leave a great void. This is one of the three or four best midfielders in the world.

"But no club can give up to 110 million euros, especially if he did not cost anything upon arrival. The offer from Manchester United was impossible to refuse.

"Juve has reinvested in (Gonzalo) Higuain and (Miralem) Pjanic, who has a great future."
