Paul Pogba targeting trophies at Juventus after long-awaited return from injury
The former Manchester United midfielder came off the bench for the Bianconeri in their 1-1 draw against Bologna on Sunday
Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba says he is targeting trophies with the Bianconeri after making his long-awaited return from injury on Sunday.
The former Manchester United player came off the bench in the second half as Juventus left it late to seal a 1-1 draw at home to Bologna in Serie A.
Pogba, who has made just 11 appearances since returning to Juve in the summer of 2022, is now determined to get back to his best after finally recovering from a serious knee injury.
"The real Pogba? Only playing minutes are missing," he told DAZN after the game on Sunday.
"I'm fine physically and I want to get back on top. What does Paul want from Juventus? I'm hungry, like in my early days here.
"I'm only 30. I want to give these fans trophies and the desire to come here to the stadium."
Pogba won eight trophies during his first spell at Juventus, including four Serie A titles, and also featured in the 2015 Champions League final defeat to Barcelona.
