Pogba’s career journey has been eventful and highly decorated. After leaving France at 16, he joined Manchester United’s youth academy and made his mark with the Red Devils. Following a successful stint in Turin with Juventus, Pogba returned to Manchester United in 2016 for a record transfer fee at the time. He won multiple domestic titles and was a key figure in France’s 2018 World Cup victory. However, his career faced a significant setback following a doping ban in 2023, which sidelined him from the game.
As he prepares for a fresh start in 2025, Pogba’s comments suggest he’s open to exploring Ligue 1, adding intrigue to his next move in football.
