A Manchester United legend recounts how Real Madrid missed out on a World Cup-winning midfielder in 2016.

Former French player and Manchester United veteran Patrice Evra stated in a recent podcast that Pogba was close to signing for Real Madrid at one time in his career.
A bout of insanity and a failing drug test, however, appear to have cost him the rest of his professional career.
