Juventus vice-president Pavel Nedved has played down the potential return of Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, although he admits that a reunion would be regarded as "wonderful".

Pogba enjoyed a successful period in Turin before beginning a second spell with United in 2016, but reports have suggested that the France international could agree to spend more time at the Italian champions should he leave Old Trafford.

Nedved has played down the frequent speculation regarding the 25-year-old's future, but acknowledges that he would be in support of bringing the player back to Serie A.

The Czech Republic legend told Football Italia: "I think Pogba is one of the best players in the world so it would be wonderful, but he is at Manchester and talking about it is futile.

"We are alert in the transfer market, but January is a long way away."

Pogba's still has just over two-and-a-half years remaining on his contract at United.
