    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Pogba returned to Juventus at that point, but has seen his contract with the Serie A giants terminated after being stung with a doping ban. That suspension has been reduced from four years to 18 months, meaning that a professional career can be resumed in March 2025.

  • WHAT COLE SAID

    There has been talk of Pogba accepting an invitation to train with United in the New Year, and Cole has told of why an agreement there could prove beneficial to all concerned. The 1999 Treble winner said: “Could Paul Pogba still play for Manchester United? Paul Pogba can still play anywhere. He has such ability and is still a fantastic player who is now coming out of a sticky situation.

    “He is a player who would make any team in the Premier League better, he won’t be struggling for a club that's for sure. When he gets his fitness back up he will have options, he is still a baby at 31 and you can’t look past his undoubted quality.”
