WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Pogba retraced steps to Juventus in 2022, but saw his contract in Turin terminated after being hit with a doping ban.

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Amid the speculation regarding the Frenchman’s future, <a href="https://x.com/StartupManutd/status/1883986831584419844" target="_blank">@StartupManutd</a> has asked the question “Pogback 3.0?” <a href="https://x.com/ChucksAndys/status/1883987277145334178" target="_blank">@ChucksAndys</a> says: “He's worth the 3rd chance looking at problems of this current squad. He's learnt his lessons, and I see him doing great things.” <a href="https://x.com/realjwg7/status/1883992056932229244" target="_blank">@realjwg7</a> added: “Pogba is a world class player. No transfer fee, he would bring a lot of quality in that number 10 with Amad. If he’s willing to come on a lower salary, and willing to put the work in I don’t see what the issue is.” <a href="https://x.com/_BTCconnoisseur/status/1883989720386187744" target="_blank">@_BTCconnoisseur</a> went on to say: “POGBACK to Man United. One Last Dance. Bruno and Pogba in the No.10 with Dorgu and Amad at LWB and RWB. What a movie this would be to watch. Come on Amorim.” <a href="https://x.com/orangesummerluv/status/1883983812612522218" target="_blank">@orangesummerluv</a> chimed in with: “At this point, just make it happen. F*ck it.”</p>
