Toni backing Juventus to 'buy Pogba for Pirlo'

Italy World Cup winner Luca Toni can see Juventus signing Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba for new coach Andrea Pirlo.

Toni reckons Pogba, who spent four years at Juventus, would be the perfect signing.

"Knowing Andrea, he will start building from midfield," he told Tuttosport. "The ideal gift would be Pogba. I don't know if that's possible, but it would certainly be the best option.

"Andrea will not be a coach who focuses on defending and counter-attacking. He loves to dominate the ball and will want to impose that on his team.

"I don't know what system he will use and I don't think it matters. Andrea is intelligent and flexible."
