Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has claimed that Paul Pogba’s move to Juventus was a ‘huge loss’.

The French midfielder left Old Trafford in 2011 to sign on a free for the Bianconeri, and his countryman has admitted it was a massive departure for the Premier League team.

“Someone with Pogba’s talent and personality are rare things,” Evra told reporters. “He was a boy who was respected by the older players like Giggs and Scholes.

“Even if he did not make an impression on the Coach, he made an impression on his teammates.

“It was a huge loss for us.”
