Paul Pogba: Paulo Dybala hints at reunion with Man Utd midfielder
JUVENTUS hitman Paulo Dybala has revealed he’d love to play alongside Paul Pogba again.
Dybala played with Paul Pogba during the 2015-16 season, the France international’s last campaign with the Italian champions before he returned to Manchester United.
The pair struck up a friendship during their brief time as team-mates and are still close with one another.
And the Argentina international has admitted he’d love to be reunited with the World Cup winner.
"The first match was amazing for me, the second amazing for him,” the former Palermo ace said when discussing Juventus’ back-to-back Champions League matches with United. “We have remained in touch since he left.
“We're still very close and who knows, maybe in the future we can play together again."
Although he’s open to a reunion with Pogba, that doesn’t mean Dybala wants to join him at Old Trafford.
"I'm not thinking about the transfer market," Dybala told The Mirror. "Right now I'm really happy at Juventus and the focus is simply winning all the titles here."
So does Dybala’s ruling out of a move to the Premier League mean his dream reunion with Pogba will happen in Turin?

According to the Frenchman’s agent, Mino Raiola, Pogba won’t be leaving Manchester anytime soon as his once-fractured relationship with manager Jose Mourinho has been repaired.
During an appearance on RaiSport, he said: “He (Pogba) has mended his relationship with Mourinho.
"He is more serene because he feels important in Manchester. Even if Turin has remained in his heart."
Pogba himself seemingly committed his future to the Red Devils during a recent interview with Inside United, the club’s official magazine.
“When I came back to United, it was the best feeling ever,” he said. “I came back home. I always dreamed of playing for United, to have many games and score goals.
“Nothing had really changed, except for maybe the team and the manager, but the rest of the club was the same.”
He added: “I just came back home, it was like I didn't really leave – I just went on holiday! It was a great feeling to come back home.
“It was great to come back, to feel the air of Manchester. That has never changed.”
