Barca executives met with their Juve counterparts last week before making an estimated €80 million offer and Ferguson believes they made a mistake rejecting the bid.

The United legend told Tuttosport: “I would sell Pogba. It’s true I already let him go, but if I were Juve now then I would let him go.”

Ferguson also praised the current Juve side, who won Serie A and reached last season’s Champions League final where they were beaten by Barcelona.

“Juve have a fantastic team, they have won four Serie A titles in a row and in my view were unlucky in the Champions League final,” he added.

“They were hit by Barcelona counterattacks, but before those had dominated the game.”
