Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has stated that he does not regret leaving Manchester United.

The French international, who has won the Serie A title during his first season in Italy, rejected the opportunity to stay at Old Trafford last summer due to a lack of first-team opportunities.

Pogba has revealed that United manager Sir Alex Ferguson tried to persuade him to stay in Manchester.

"He (Ferguson) tried to convince me to stay," Pogba told L'Equipe.

"But I told him I wanted to play. I have always been sure of myself and determined.

"Even when I didn't play at Manchester United, I was just waiting for the moment to express myself. Today I don't regret my choice to sign for Juventus."

Pogba has made 37 appearances for the Old Lady this season, scoring five goals.
