Claudio Marchisio feels Paul Pogba should consider himself lucky to be at Juventus as he believes the Serie A champions are the perfect place for promising youngsters to develop.
The France international joined Juventus from Manchester United in the summer of 2012 and has since developed into an important first-team player at the Turin side.
Pogba became an undisputed starter at Juventus when injury kept Marchisio out of action at the start of the 2013-14 campaign, but the Italy international has little doubt the 21-year-old would also have "exploded" had he not been forced to watch from the sidelines.
"Pogba would also have exploded had I not been injured [in 2013-14]," Marchisio was quoted as saying by Tuttosport.
"We are talking about a natural here, a pure talent. He still has a lot of room for improvement and will only get better.
"He is fortunate enough to be able to develop in the right environment, because Juventus are a great place for young talents to grow.
"He has been able to mature in all calm here, without having to think about all kinds of distractions. The city of Turin has also played a role in this."
Pogba has been in sublime form for Juventus in 2014-15, scoring five goals in 22 appearances in all competitions.
