WHAT HAPPENED?
Pogba is on the hunt for a new club after seeing his contract terminated by Juventus. The midfielder is able to resume his career in March, after seeing his doping ban cut, but will need to find new employers after seeing his time at the Serie A club come to an end.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
There has already been plenty of speculation about where Pogba may play his football in 2025, with former Manchester United striker Louis Saha having already backed Pogba to return to Old Trafford. Ex-Arsenal and France defender Bacary Sagna also thinks such a transfer is a possibility as Amorim shapes a new squad after succeeding Erik ten Hag in the managerial hot seat at Old Trafford.
Sagna told Mega Dice: “It’s a different situation today at Manchester United to when Paul was previously there. United have a young coach, a coach that has been a player, a coach that understands the situation. He will probably be willing to have a player like Paul at his training sessions. Amorim was a player himself, so I’m sure the coach will be open to seeing him getting back home because he loves United. I have talked many times with Paul. He loves United. The only problem was the situation when he came back. That was a spell where things didn’t go as well as they should have done, but Paul wasn’t the only player that struggled at United during the time he was there.”
WHAT NEXT FOR POGBA
Pogba has also been urged by Adil Rami to head to Marseille and link up with former United team-mate Mason Greenwood as talk over his future continues. However, a transfer to Saudi Arabia or Major League Soccer currently appears to be most likely for the 31-year-old, who has not played competitively since featuring for Juventus against Empoli in September 2023.
