Paul Pogba is finally seeing daylight in his second stint at Juventus, almost a year since he returned to Italy after six years in England with Manchester United.

The 30-year-old has played for only two clubs in his senior career - the Red Devils and the Old Lady - in two different stints for each clubUnited and Juventus in two different stints for each club.

He ran down his United contract and refused a new deal to return to Italy but has been plagued with injuries, one of which forced him to miss the 2022 FIFA World Cup, where France reached the finals but lost to Argentina.

Massimiliano Allegri has grown frustrated with him over time and demanded to see the version of him he coached during his first spell in Turin.

Pogba's late brilliance for Juventus
Pogba was given 20 minutes off the bench in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League semi-final against competition specialist, Sevilla on May 11.

According to Express, the Spanish team appeared to be taking the advantage away from the Allianz Stadium before the Frenchman stepped up with an assist for Federico Gatti, who scored to earn a draw in the final minutes.

It was Pogba's first attacking output for the Bianconeri in the period of almost a year since his return, and it delighted Allegri that his substitutions had impacted the game.
