Juventus are currently top of Serie A, they’ve won 4 of their last 6 games in the Italian league. Top of their Champions League group, the Old Lady have already qualified for the knockout rounds.
But everything isn’t perfect. Losing 3-0 to Genoa at the weekend has thrown Juventus into a mini crisis. It’s the type of situation Manchester United have known well down the years, a crisis-what-crisis situation, which sees a country’s top club overly analysed for losing a match.
There’s surely no danger of dropping much further, but it’s the eight points Manchester United are behind the top four which is an increasing hill, not yet a mountain, to climb.
But Juve’s mini crisis is Manchester United related, at least according to Calciomercato. They state that Paul Pogba shouldn’t have been sold before a real replacement was found, and that the Genoa match was a prime example of how the ‘Octopus’ is being missed in Turin.
Pogba has been playing well for Manchester United and it further underlines his quality that Juventus are missing him. The target of much criticism, Pogba is faced with playing in a struggling side with a manager seemingly still unsure how to consistently get the best out of his men.
