Ferguson aims swipe at Juventus-bound midfielder

Manchester United have confirmed Paul Pogba has completed his move to Juventus. Pogba's future at Old Trafford has been the subject of speculation for some time with a move to Juventus strongly mooted. United have now confirmed Pogba has sealed his switch to Turin after seeing out his contract at Old Trafford. Pogba left Le Havre to join United's youth academy in 2009 and was highly-rated by United's coaching staff. United were keen to keep hold of Pogba, but the 19-year-old rejected their offer of a new contract to join Italian champions Juventus. Pogba made seven appearances for United last season, but the talented midfielder has decided to leave in search of regular first-team football Sir Alex Ferguson has aimed a swipe at Pogba accusing the French youngster of not showing the club 'any respect at all.' "Paul Pogba signed for Juventus a long time ago as far as we're aware," Ferguson told MUTV. "It's disappointing. I don't think he showed us any respect at all. To be honest, if they carry on that way, they're probably better doing it away from us."

Fryers uncertainty

Ferguson also revealed he is yet to hear anything from young defender Zeki Fryers about his future with the full back also out of contract. Sky Sports understands Fryers has rejected United's offer of a new deal and is weighing up a move to Tottenham. Ferguson admits he is in the dark about Fryer's long-term future. "We haven't heard anything from Zeki Fryers," added Ferguson. "I don't know what's happening there but he's not been in touch with the club. His agent hasn't been in touch with the club and I can only assume he'll be back for training today."
