ANDREA PIRLO has admitted Juventus are still laughing at Manchester United over their dealings with Paul Pogba.
By Joel Watson
The Italy legend was at Juve when Pogba joined the Italian champions for a small compensatory fee.
And after seeing the French ace play, Pirlo couldn't believe they'd landed him for free.
He told the Telegraph: “On the first training session Pogba had with Juventus the players were laughing.
“We were not laughing for any other reason than we were just in total disbelief that this player with so much obvious ability was able to leave the club the size ofManchester United for free – and I think Juventus are still laughing.
“I will always remember that first day he trained at Juventus. He was only young but we could see he was special.
"We were walking back to the dressing room after the session and I clearly remember Gianluigi Buffon coming up to me laughing and he just said: "Did they really let him go for free?"

Pogba's now returned to Old Trafford for a world record £89m with a further £4.25m in potential add-ons.
Although he missed his new side's Premier League curtain raiser as he picked up a suspension in last year's Copa Italia.
Jose Mourinho's side looked more than capable without him though, as they battered Bournemouth 3-1.
