Paul Pogba has insisted that even when he left Manchester United in 2012, he always knew that he would return. It took just four years for him to come back and for him to be reunited with pal Jesse Lingard.

I have United in my heart. It’s my house. When I left I always knew that I would come back. For me, it’s just normal. It’s like I went on holiday and just came back. Seriously. Nothing really changed. I’m the same person.

When Jesse saw me, I was really happy to see him. We grew up together. To see him in the first-team, I’m very happy and very proud.

Pogba has also spoken about the fans and his desire to give them what they want.

You have the fans. You just do what you love. For them, it’s something different. They can lose one game and not talk for two days. That’s why we play for the fans as well as myself and the family. You have to give them the same love. I enjoy football and I enjoy the fans. I have done since I was young. That won’t change.
