Pogba is handed the iconic No.10 shirt worn by legends Baggio and Del Piero

Paul Pogba has been handed the iconic number 10 shirt following his return to Juventus from Manchester United.

The World Cup winner put pen to paper on a four-year deal with the Old Lady after his departure in 2016.

Pogba's contract expired at Manchester United last week after a difficult second spell at Old Trafford and despite links with Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, he opted for a return to Turin.

During his first spell at Juventus, Pogba donned the number six shirt for three seasons before taking the number 10 in his final campaign.

Following the recent exit of Paulo Dybala, the Frenchman will once again wear the illustrious number 10 as once worn by club legends such as Roberto Baggio and Alessandro Del Piero.

The legendary Baggio tallied 115 goals in 200 games for Juventus helping win the UEFA Cup in 1993 and a Serie A and Coppa Italia double in 1995.

Del Piero spent 19 years in Turin scoring 289 goals in 702 games, picking up six Serie A titles and the Champions League in 1996.

It remains to be seen whether the weight of the legendary jersey will bring out the best in the former Manchester United star who endured a topsy-turvy end to his injury-ravaged time in Manchester.

Jose Mourinho brought the midfielder back to Old Trafford for £89million, six years ago, and despite much optimism around his return, things quickly began to deteriorate culminating in public fallouts with the Portuguese manager.

Pogba was also involved in various spats with United supporters who were unhappy with his on-pitch efforts for the club when compared with his displays with the French national team.

But the 29-year-old has the opportunity to turn the page in Turin where his stock remains high from his first spell where he scored 34 goals and assisted 40 in 177 appearances across all competitions.

If Pogba was anxious as to how he would be received in Turin, he need not have worried as fans flocked to the club's headquarters to witness his return.
