Andrea Pirlo says that Manchester United must "live with their mistake" of allowing Paul Pogba to leave because he is never coming back.
Pogba exited United in 2012 and later said he was "disgusted" that Sir Alex Ferguson had chosen Rafael and Ji-Sung Park in central midfield instead of giving him a chance.
The Frenchman - whose fee is likely to be £70million ($106.43m) - has been linked with a return to Old Trafford as well as moves to Real Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea.
His Juventus teammate Pirlo said after Pogba's sixth goal of the Serie A season: "For whatever reasons they chose not to give him a chance - and that is a mistake they will have to live with now. I can't see that he (Pogba) will ever return to Manchester United.
"When he first joined us in training at Juventus we knew there was something about him - and in just two years he has become one of the best players in the world.
"Of course he is going to have options - he knows that. You can't play at the level he is and not attract attention - but he also knows that at Juventus he is already at one of the biggest clubs in Europe.
"I have spoken with him, and told him if he carries on working hard and makes the right decisions - there is no limit to what he can achieve."
