POGBA PUTS A SMILE BACK ON TEVEZ'S FACE


MAN UTD STAR POGBA MANAGES TO PUT A SMILE ON TEVEZ'S FACE AMID CHINA EXIT TALK FOR ARGENTINE

 The former Red Devils striker is being linked with a return to Boca Juniors after a short spell in China, but was happy to meet the Frenchman
Carlos Tevez has not had the happiest of times in China, but Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has put a smile on his face.

 After completing a move to Shanghai Shenhua in December, in a deal which made him the world's highest paid player on a reported salary of $41 million, Tevez has struggled for form.
He has managed just one goal in six CSL games and is already being linked with a return to Boca Juniors.

 The 33-year-old has clearly not had much to get excited about of late, but he was happy to catch up with Pogba during the latter’s visit to Asia – with the pair having previously played together at Juventus.

 Tevez has admitted that he is uncertain as to what the future holds for him.

 He told TyC Sports: "I left not to hurt Boca. Honestly, I do not know what I'm going to do at the end of the year. 

 "If I'm not hungry for glory, it's very difficult to stay in the club."

 Pogba completed a homecoming of his own in 2016, as he rejoined United in a record-breaking £89 million transfer.

 He has fared considerably better in England than Tevez has in China – helping the Red Devils to three trophies in his debut campaign – but the general consensus is that there is even more to come from the 24 year old.

LUKAKU TO MAN UTD: SO MOURINHO DOES CARE ABOUT YOUNGSTERS AFTER ALL Kris Voakes 08:48 The United manager has been castigated for his short-termism in the past but his record shows he does generally buy young “I knew that was coming… Do you know how many young players I promote to the first team from academies? Forty-nine! If any one of you is interested I can give you [a list].” Jose Mourinho came armed with notes when he first arrived at Old Trafford as Manchester United so clear was he that people were going to ask about his general refusal to give youngsters a chance. Whether at Chelsea, Inter or Real Madrid, he had failed to satiate the desire to promote youth despite delivering major trophies with regularity. Academy players were perceived not to have been given a chance as the Portuguese’s short-term approach was given precedence over the need to give the club’s young assets the chance to show their worth. Millions were spent on the likes of Ricardo Carvalho, Hernan Cresp
