Why David Moyes rejected chance to sign Pogba at Man Utd in favour of Fabregas

Premier League

Former Manchester United manager David Moyes made a move for Cesc Fabregas instead of Paul Pogba during his time at the club because he was concerned about the player’s long-term ambitions.

Fabregas slams Man Utd duo Gary Neville & Rooney over infamous Pizzagate clash

Premier League
