Paul Pogba to Manchester United? Ruben Amorim Open to Shock Return

Paul Pogba's footballing journey has taken an unexpected turn, and speculation is now rife about where the French midfielder will play in 2025. After having his contract terminated by Juventus and serving a doping ban, Pogba is free to resume his career in March but must find a new club to relaunch his once-glittering career.

Reports suggest that Manchester United's new manager, Ruben Amorim, is open to welcoming Pogba back to Old Trafford. Pogba, who played for United from 2016 to 2022, experienced mixed fortunes during his previous stint at the club. However, Amorim’s coaching philosophy and player-focused approach could provide the 31-year-old with the fresh start he needs.

Bacary Sagna, former Arsenal and France defender, believes Amorim’s background as a player and coach makes him uniquely positioned to help Pogba thrive. Speaking to Mega Dice, Sagna said:

"It’s a different situation today at Manchester United to when Paul was previously there. Amorim was a player himself, so I’m sure the coach will be open to seeing him getting back home because he loves United."

While a return to Manchester United is one possibility, Pogba has also been linked to other clubs. Former France teammate Adil Rami has encouraged Pogba to join Marseille, where he could reunite with ex-United striker Mason Greenwood. Meanwhile, lucrative offers from Saudi Arabian clubs and Major League Soccer (MLS) remain strong contenders for Pogba’s next move.

Pogba has not played competitively since September 2023, and questions remain about his fitness and ability to return to the top level. His time at Juventus was marred by injuries and off-field controversies, culminating in his doping suspension. Despite these setbacks, Pogba’s talent and experience make him a valuable prospect for clubs willing to take a chance on his redemption.

As Ruben Amorim continues to reshape Manchester United, the possibility of Pogba’s return adds an intriguing twist to the club’s evolving narrative. Whether Pogba dons the famous red jersey again or seeks opportunities elsewhere, his next move will undoubtedly be one of the most talked-about transfers of 2025.
