In an unexpected development, former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has expressed a strong interest in returning to Old Trafford, admitting that his departure may have been premature. The French international, who joined Juventus in July 2022, has endured a challenging period marked by injuries and a doping suspension. Now a free agent after mutually terminating his contract with Juventus, Pogba is actively searching for a new club.
Pogba has openly reflected on his decision to leave United, acknowledging it as one of his few regrets. He clarified that neither Sir Alex Ferguson nor the club forced him out, but he left in pursuit of more playing time—something he now sees as a mistake.
His potential return has received backing from former players, including club legend Dwight Yorke, who believes Pogba, at 31, is still superior to United’s current midfield options. Yorke is convinced Pogba would be eager to rejoin and make an impact.
However, Manchester United’s manager, Ruben Amorim, has indicated a preference for developing young talent rather than bringing in free agents. Addressing speculation, he emphasized the club’s focus on youth, suggesting Pogba’s return may not align with their current strategy.
With the summer transfer window approaching, opinions among United fans are divided. Some welcome the return of a player with Pogba’s experience, while others question whether revisiting the past is the right move. The coming weeks will determine whether the club reconsiders its stance and if Pogba will once again wear the iconic red jersey.
