As a former player for Manchester United, Louis Saha has expressed his belief that there is a possibility that Paul Pogba may return to the club for a third time. once successfully appealing a doping penalty, which was reduced from four years to 18 months, Pogba recently reached a mutual understanding with Juventus to end his contract with the club once the suspension was reduced. After testing positive for DHEA, a chemical that stimulates the production of hormones, Pogba was suspended for the duration of his second stint at Juventus, and as a result, he only made seven appearances during that time.
There are reports that relate Pogba to a return to the Premier League, as well as interest from clubs in Ligue 1 and Saudi Arabia. These rumors are connected to the fact that his ban has been shortened, and he will be able to begin training again in January. Despite the fact that earlier reports that suggested Pogba might return to United for fitness purposes were swiftly discredited, Saha is of the opinion that there is a possibility that Pogba will return to the club in the near future.
Saha believes that Pogba has the potential to be beneficial to a United team that is now experiencing difficulties. He considers Pogba to be a unique talent who possesses attributes that the team does not currently possess, such as a powerful and skilled box-to-box midfielder. Additionally, he highlights the fact that Pogba is currently available as a free agent, which might make the transaction enticing to a number of elite Premier League clubs. This is especially true when considering Pogba’s desire to resume his career after a significant amount of time away from the field.
I’ve heard speculations that Pogba could return to train with Manchester United in the New Year, and it would be a fantastic opportunity for him,” Saha said. “It would be a terrific opportunity for him.” Pogba has the potential to offer United with the power and dynamic presence that they are lacking in the middle. The signing of him as a free agent is an opportunity that the best clubs in the Premier League should not pass up.
Pogba had a difficult time securing a berth in the first squad during his initial stint at United. However, he went on to have great success at Juventus before United ultimately decided to bring him back in 2016 for a fee of £89 million. Over the course of his career, he played 226 times for United, helping the club win the Carabao Cup and the Europa League. The final match that Pogba played in was in September of 2023, which was before the beginning of his doping suspension. Since that time, he has communicated his eagerness to resume his playing career and his joy at the prospect of moving forward in his profession.
