According to former French footballer Louis Saha, Paul Pogba could make a sensational return to Manchester United in January. This would allow him to participate in training before his doping ban ends and he can resume his career. At the age of 31, Pogba is eager to get back on the field after his four-year ban was reduced to 18 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The talented World Cup winner will be eligible to train from January 2025 and can officially play again in March. However, he will not be returning to his previous club Juventus, as his contract was mutually terminated in November 2022. Pogba is expected to receive offers from top clubs in Europe, as well as teams in the MLS and Saudia Arabia.
Although Pogba will have to prove his fitness after not playing a competitive game since September 2023, Saha believes that United is ready to give him a chance to regain his form. "I've heard rumors that Pogba will be offered the opportunity to train with Man Utd in the New Year, and I think it would be a great opportunity for him," Saha shared with Casino Utan Spelpaus. "He needs to get back to his best level quickly, and training with top players will help him do that. I believe he would be thrilled to return to the club."
In fact, Saha goes on to suggest that United should go one step further and consider signing Pogba for a third time. "I still think Pogba is a very special player," he added. "When you think of midfielders, he possesses unique qualities." Saha also believes that United's midfield could use more power and a player like Pogba, who can play box-to-box, would be a valuable addition.
Despite United's recent hiring of new manager Ruben Amorim, Saha is confident that other Premier League clubs will be interested in signing Pogba if United doesn't make a move. "I think many teams would find signing him as a free agent attractive," he shared. "Forget about the salary, I'm sure Paul is willing to compromise as he just wants to play football again after such a long time on the sidelines."
Saha firmly believes that Pogba's signing would bring more positives than negatives for any club. "All the top clubs in the Premier League should see signing Pogba on a free transfer as an amazing opportunity," he stated. "That's how I see it." With his experience and skills, Pogba could be a valuable asset for any team, and United should consider making a move in January.
