Juventus starPaulo Dybala has claimed that Manchester United's Paul Pogba is 'missing life in Turin' following his £89m switch to Old Trafford in the summer.
Pogba, 23, was dubbed one of Europe's brightest stars after joining United, but he has failed to perform consistentlyfor Mourinho's side, who are 6th after 16 games this season.
He did, however, score the opening goal for United in a 2-1 win at Crystal Palace on Wednesday, but whether he can maintain his form remains to be seen.
Dybala, who built a strong relationship with Pogba both on and off the field, said that it's easy to see why Pogba misses being at his former club with Juventus sat pretty at the top of Serie A while United struggle in 6th.
We stay in touch,� Dybala toldCalcioMercato. We lack his quality on the pitch and we miss his laughter in the dressing room. But he misses us too, just look where we are in the table and look at Manchester United.�

The Argentine forward was rewarded for his fine form over the past year with a nomination at this year's Ballon d'Or awards ceremony, and he admits that he was proud to be on the list alongside the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
At the moment it's right that it alternates between Messi and [Cristiano] Ronaldo,� Dybala added.
Do I think about it? All the time. In this year's edition I didn't get any votes, but just to be nominated at 22 is amazing. Now I want to go higher.�
