Man Utd star Pogba ready for 'emotional' Juventus clash

Manchester United star Paul Pogba has admitted it will be an emotional moment facing old club Juventus.

The French midfielder spent four years in Turin before returning to United in 2016.

Pogba told UEFA: "We said: 'Can you imagine what it'd be like if we're drawn in the same group as Juventus?' That's the way it's panned out and it's really special.

"We've all been sending messages about seeing each other again. There's a lot of emotions involved because I began my first season in the professional game and scored my first goal at Juve.

"It's there that I developed as a player, so I have huge respect for the club."
