Speaking on the Beyond the Pitch podcast, Pogba opened up about the summer of 2016, where he confirmed the Spanish giants actually approached him.
He said: "To be honest, Real Madrid came to me and I was thinking to go there, and I was thinking to go to Manchester United too,"
"But I always felt it in my heart. My heart told me to come back here, I don't know why, I didn't know what was going to happen.
"But I did it, and I don't regret. I never regret my choice."
Pogba made 51 appearances in all competitions for Manchester United last season, as the club won both the EFL Cup and Europa League.
