Paul Pogba on his Manchester United transfer: The wait was annoying to me as it was to you

PAUL POGBA has admitted that even he got impatient over the amount of time it took to complete his transfer to Manchester United.

The world record signing - who has moved from Italian champions Juventus to United - reckons the deal took a lot of thinking and hard work and he could not say anything "by law."

He told supporters on his official Instagram account in a series of posts: "To all supporters who wrote on my pages about transfer rumours, I have read you all and thank you for the passionate messages.

"My apologies for not responding before, by law I could not talk.

"The transfer took so long because it was a huge decision and involved lots of thinking and hard work.

"The wait was annoying to me as it was to you.

"It is difficult to explain so much in a few lines but I made a decision guided by my heart and nothing else.

"Juventus will always be a part of me and I will always miss, love and be grateful to the club, the team and especially the supporters. I hope you can respect my decision.

"The most beautiful part of friendship is to understand and be understood.

"My deepest respect to the clubs who considered having me.

"Leaving Manchester when I was 18 was a mutual decision between the club and me and the right thing to do at that moment.

"Now it's time to go back and forward, Old Trafford here I come."
