After the match that Manchester United beat Granada 2-0 this Thursday, a triumph that allowed them to qualify for the semifinals of the Europa League where they will face Roma, one of the figures of the English team made a revelation about the Argentine team by which he sympathizes with. Paul Pogba admitted that he is "only from Boca" because of his friends Carlos Tevez and Marcos Rojo. 

In a note with ESPN after the match against the Spanish, Pogba confessed: “I'm always in contact with Carlitos and Marcos (Rojo). I am a fan of Boca. At the moment, only from Boca. I would like to go to Argentina to get to know the meat that I know is wonderful and to see my friends Marcos and Carlitos ‘El Apache’”.

The French midfielder drew a smile when asked about it and it shows the good relationship he has with the Argentine players. With Tevez he was a teammate at Juventus and with Rojo he shared a squad at United, where the defender played until last year. In permanent contact with both, this sympathy for the La Ribera team must have been fired.

For a few years now, some international football figures expressed their sympathy for Boca and others even expressed their desire to one day want to play in La Bombonera. There were those who went further and made that desire come true, such as the Italian Daniele De Rossi, who played five matches with the blue and gold jacket and even scored a goal on his debut, when Xeneize drew 1-1 against Almagro for the Argentine Cup, but it was eliminated in the definition by penalties. However, that day the midfielder who previously only played for Roma, was applauded by the fans of the blue and gold team.

Now the star that sounds to land in Boca is a teammate of Pogba and it's Edinson Cavani, who today scored a goal and since the coach Ole Gunnar Solskjær began to talk about his possible departure, he has been including the Uruguayan striker as a starter. Another is his compatriot Lucas Torreira, who even took a photo with his current jacket, an image that went viral. The Uruguayan midfielder's at Arsenal, also from England.

Of course, for now Pogba did not express his intention to play for Boca, but only that he is a fan of the club. The 28-year-old French midfielder has a contract with the Red Devils until June 30, 2022 and is one of the figures of the English team and of his national team with which he was world champion in Russia 2018.
