‘My deepest respect to the clubs who considered having me.
‘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.
‘It is difficult to explain so much in a few lines but I made a decision guided by my heart and nothing else.
‘This transfer took so long because it was a huge decision and involved lots of thinking and work. The wait was as annoying to me as it was to you.
‘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.’
Pogba was driven to United's Aon Training Complex in a Chevrolet Camaro on Monday afternoon to undertake his medical after landing on a flight from Nice having been in New York. He was driven by one of United's security staff
