Paul Pogba made seven substitute appearances for Manchester United before joining Juventus

Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has signed a new deal with the Italian club, which runs until 2019.

The 21-year-old was a regular in France's team at the 2014 World Cup and has been linked with several of Europe's top clubs.

But the Turin club's administrator Giuseppe Marotta told shareholders the player had committed to a new deal with the Serie A champions.

Pogba joined Juve on a free transfer from Manchester United in 2012.

He accused the Old Trafford club of "disrespect" in May, claiming he was made to train alone during the contract dispute that preceded his move to Italy.

He has helped the club to back-to-back league titles and his previous contract was set to expire in 2016.
