From Le Havre to Manchester United and now starring with Juventus, the game has been talking about Paul Pogba since he was 15 years of age.

Here's ten quotes from some of football's biggest names about the 22 year-old French midfield ace.

TOP 10 QUOTES ABOUT PAUL POGBA

Sir Alex Ferguson (ex-Manchester United manager): "Pogba signed for Juventus a long time ago as far as we're aware. (It) is disappointing. I don't think he showed us any respect at all, to be honest.

"I'm quite happy that if they carry on that way, they're probably better doing it away from us."

Patrice Evra (Juventus fullback): "La Pioche [Pogba] is like a son to me.

"Ferguson sent me to his house to convince him to stay. He cried, he couldn't sleep. He knew he could become greater than [Patrick] Vieira, but he had decided. Ferguson also knew Pogba could become very strong, but he couldn't force the issue."

Mino Raiola (agent): "Paul is a work of art. Not the Mona Lisa, though, but more pop. Pogba is like a painting by Basquiat. No one knows his value. Everyone likes when I say that he is worth 100, 120 or 130 million. The fact is that the market is a sport in itself."

Didier Deschamps (France coach): "He does things that others of his age I have never seen do; it all comes easy but he must not rest on his laurels and especially must not be convinced that everything will always be easy. I do not want temper the instinct of his game but he has to understand when the time is right to do things, in this way he will become even stronger. He must also improve the handling of his praise and criticism."

Rio Ferdinand (QPR defender): "I remember Paul Scholes kicking the living daylights out of him in every single training session, every day. But he earned our respect by never moaning, never shouting and never making a fuss. He always wanted the ball still and that kind of attitude has helped him progress."

Rene Meulensteen (ex-Manchester United assistant manager): "It is very sad how it goes. It's probably not even the desire of the boy to leave, but he is more motivated by his agent. He can earn his transfer. Such a nineteen year-old boy can be led astray. I hope he realizes in time what a great club he's leaving."

Patrick Vieira (ex-Arsenal, Juventus midfielder): "I was more defensive than he is. He carries the ball forward more and scores goals. He is also better technically and more talented than me at the same age. This is a player who can score 10-15 goals every season. I think he has more potential than me."

Andrea Agnelli (Juventus president): "Paul is extraordinary, even as we are here at UNESCO, Paul is a world heritage site. Paul represents the growth path of Juve. The fact that the big clubs pay attention to our players is only a source of pride. If our Pogba is admired everywhere, we are very proud."

Le Havre (Pogba's junior club): "The HAC wishes to express its outrage at the actions of the leaders of Manchester United on the young Paul Pogba.

"This senseless act is even more unacceptable when it comes from a club of this size. When many voices, including in the EU, governments, or FIFA and UEFA are against 'trafficking in minors', Manchester United does not hesitate to uproot a kid 16 years!"

Zinedine Zidane (Real Madrid Castilla coach): "When we speak of Pogba, it is logical that Real is interested in him. Paul has a great potential and still significant room for improvement. He's a young man with a great future, full of hope."
