The 31-year-old French midfielder, currently serving an 18-month ban due to a doping violation, has been without a club since his contract with Juventus was terminated in November 2024. His suspension is set to conclude in March 2025, making him eligible to resume professional play.
Pogba recently fueled rumors of a possible third stint at Old Trafford with a cryptic Instagram post. He shared an illustration of himself alongside United’s Amad Diallo, both donning the club’s kit, accompanied by the caption: “Let’s see what’s coming…†This post has led many to believe that Pogba is considering a return to Manchester United.
Despite these hints, reports indicate that Manchester United is not currently entertaining the idea of re-signing Pogba. The club appears focused on other targets and is cautious about bringing back a player who had a mixed tenure during his previous spells.
Pogba’s second tenure at Manchester United, which began in 2016 with a then-world-record transfer fee of £89 million, was marked by flashes of brilliance but also periods of inconsistency and injuries. He departed the club in 2022, returning to Juventus before his contract was terminated following his doping suspension.
As Pogba prepares to make a comeback, he has been linked with various clubs across Europe, including potential moves to La Liga, Serie A, and the Bundesliga. Former Premier League striker Darren Bent has even suggested that Pogba could be a good fit for Arsenal, citing the club’s need for experienced midfield options.
While Pogba’s future remains uncertain, his recent social media activity has undoubtedly stirred excitement and speculation among fans. Whether this leads to a return to Manchester United or a new chapter elsewhere in Europe will depend on negotiations in the coming months.
