In a stunning development, Paul Pogba has rejoined Manchester United, signing a two-year contract with an option for an additional season, contingent upon the club’s qualification for the Champions League. Pogba, who previously played for United from 2016 to 2022, expressed his gratitude, stating, “Manchester United took me as their own when others rejected me. It’s a great privilege given to me by Ruben Amorim to be here again!”
Pogba’s initial tenure at Old Trafford began in 2016 when he transferred from Juventus for a then-world-record fee of £89 million. During this period, he contributed to the team’s successes, including winning the EFL Cup and the UEFA Europa League in the 2016-2017 season. In 2022, Pogba returned to Juventus on a free transfer, signing a four-year contract.
However, his time in Turin was marred by injuries and a doping suspension in 2023, which led to a contract termination in November 2024. After serving an 18-month suspension, Pogba is now eligible to play again as of March 11, 2025.
Manchester United’s manager, Ruben Amorim, expressed enthusiasm about Pogba’s return, highlighting the midfielder’s experience and skill as valuable assets for the team’s ambitions. Fans have also shown excitement, anticipating that Pogba’s presence will bolster the squad’s performance in domestic and European competitions.
Pogba’s return symbolizes a homecoming and a second chance to make a significant impact at Manchester United, aiming to lead the club to new heights in the upcoming seasons.
