Rúben Amorim has given me the chance to train with the squad, promising that if I perform well, I can earn a place, much like Jonny Evans did under Erik ten Hag. It’s an incredible opportunity, and I’m deeply grateful for it. I owe Manchester United Premier League and Champions League titles, and I’m determined to achieve that under the new manager.
This update brings excitement to Manchester United fans, as Paul Pogba looks forward to rejoining the club, impressing Amorim, and striving to bring silverware back to Old Trafford.
Bacary Sagna believes Pogba would seize the opportunity to return to Manchester United for a third spell, especially under the leadership of Ruben Amorim.
Currently a free agent, the 31-year-old World Cup-winning Frenchman recently ended his contract with Juventus by mutual agreement. His time at the Italian club was plagued by injuries and a doping controversy, limiting him to only 12 appearances. In September 2023, Pogba was handed a four-year suspension for testing positive for a banned substance. However, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) later reduced the ban to 18 months, acknowledging that he had unknowingly consumed the substance. This decision allows him to resume training in January 2024 and return to competitive matches by March.
Despite these challenges, Pogba’s exceptional abilities remain undeniable, and a return to Manchester United, two years after his departure, seems plausible. Sagna, a former teammate, believes Pogba would thrive under Amorim’s management.
In an interview with Mega Dice, Sagna shared his thoughts:
“Manchester United is in a different phase now compared to when Paul was last there. They have a young, dynamic coach who understands the modern game. I believe Amorim would be open to having Paul in his setup. As someone who values players with strong ties to the club, Amorim would likely welcome Paul back.”
Sagna also reflected on Pogba’s previous challenges at United, suggesting they were part of a wider problem at the time:
“I’ve spoken with Paul often, and his love for Manchester United is genuine. The difficulties he faced weren’t just about him; the entire club was struggling during that period.”
With midfielders Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte sidelined by injuries, Pogba’s potential availability in March could provide a timely reinforcement. While Amorim’s plans for Pogba remain uncertain, Sagna’s comments hint at the possibility of an extraordinary return.
