Inter Milan GM Marotta: Pogba a good guy and serious pro

Inter Milan GM Beppe Marotta feels for Paul Pogba at Juventus.

Pogba has been provisionally suspended after testing positive for testosterone.

Marotta signed Pogba for Juve from Manchester United when he was a young player.

“I have a rapport of great affection with Pogba," Marotta told reporters at the Premio Gentleman function last night.

“We signed him as a free agent from Manchester United and then sold him on for over €100m, which was simply extraordinary.

“I can only say that he is a good guy, but I don't want to get into the details of it, because this is not up to me. I am simply sad."

He added: “If players are not being strict with what they consume, then I hope it can act as a warning to other players. I hope he can resolve the situation and I can guarantee he is a serious professional."
