Watch: Pogba's 5 best goals with Juventus
Paul Pogba's talents were on full display almost immediately after his move from Manchester United to Juventus.
As if to prove a point that the Premier League side made a mistake in allowing him to leave, the French playmaker blossomed into a superstar during his first season with the Italian side, as his creative influence in the midfield was complemented by his ludicrous ability to find the back of the net from almost anywhere on the pitch.
Here are the five best goals Juve fans will remember fondly from his four years in Turin:
5. Juventus vs. Torino - 2015

Improvising isn't for everyone, but it's one of the many traits that make Pogba almost impossible to defend.
During Juve's 2-1 win over Torino last October, Pogba concocted a perfect plan of attack, with a defender breathing down his neck, as he instinctively rifled a half-volley that smacked under the crossbar and into the net to open the scoring.
4. Juventus vs. Sassuolo - 2015
Volleys have become a common sight when watching the gifted 23-year-old.
His golazo against Sassuolo last year was a thing of beauty, though, as the Frenchman controlled the ball in stride before thumping in a half-volley from outside the penalty area.
3. Juventus vs. Napoli - 2013

Speaking of volleys, here's another beauty. But this time, it's almost as if Pogba was looking for a challenge. After collecting a pass, he seemingly flicked the ball into the air before pounding it into the back of Napoli's net.

Two years later, Pogba was at it again, unleashing another sensational volley against Napoli. With no one around him, he patiently waited at the edge of the box until a deflection looped towards him. He instinctively lined himself up underneath the ball and guided his powerful effort inside the far post.
1. Juventus vs. Udinese (2013)
One of Pogba's most famous goals might have finished higher up on this list had it not been for the emergence of incredible fan footage of his swerving strike against Udinese in 2013.
The French international was left unmarked as a defender's clearance attempt fell to his feet. With the outside of his right boot, Pogba hammered in a shot that initially looked to be going wide until it curled back and struck the underside of the crossbar for the goal.
