The World Cup-winning French midfielder, who will be free to train from January 2025 and play by March, is currently without a club following Juventus’s decision to terminate his contract in November.
Louis Saha, Pogba’s compatriot and former United striker, claims that the Red Devils could offer Pogba the chance to train with the team. He believes this opportunity would help Pogba regain his peak form while proving his worth to potential suitors.
Saha also suggested that United should consider re-signing Pogba, citing his unique box-to-box abilities and the team’s current need for midfield strength.
Pogba’s Redemption Arc Could Begin at Old Trafford
Pogba’s last competitive game was in September 2023, and fitness remains a concern for the midfielder. Nevertheless, top European clubs, MLS teams, and Saudi Arabian sides are reportedly interested in his signature.
Saha, however, insists that United might benefit the most from Pogba’s skill set, especially under their new manager Ruben Amorim, if the club prioritizes experience over fresh faces.
Why the Premier League Remains an Attractive Destination
Saha also highlighted that Pogba, now available as a free agent, could make a compelling signing for any Premier League side willing to overlook his past controversies.
He emphasized that Pogba is likely to compromise on salary demands, motivated by a desire to simply play football again. Whether at United or elsewhere, Saha believes the midfielder’s return would bring more positives than negatives to any team.
