Paul Pogba Not Training at Manchester United, Prepares for Return in Miami
Recent reports suggesting that Paul Pogba, the former Juventus midfielder, is set to train at Manchester United’s Carrington training centre have been clarified. According to reputable football transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, these claims are inaccurate.
Romano took to social media to set the record straight, stating, “Reports of Paul Pogba set to train at Manchester United’s Carrington are not true. Pogba is not planning to train at any club as he’s working in Miami on a daily basis. As soon as he signs for a new club, Paul will be ready to go and train there. No contacts with United.”
Pogba’s Current Situation
The 31-year-old French international’s contract with Juventus was terminated last Friday after the Court of Arbitration for Sport significantly reduced his doping ban. While Pogba had expressed willingness to accept a pay cut to remain at the Turin-based club, Juventus opted to move in a different direction, resulting in his release.
Currently, Pogba is focusing on maintaining his fitness in Miami, preparing for a comeback once he is eligible to resume playing in March 2025. His dedication to staying match-ready has fueled anticipation regarding his next move.
Potential Suitors
Despite the setback of his recent suspension, Pogba’s reputation as a world-class midfielder has kept him on the radar of several clubs. Teams from Saudi Arabia, the United States, and even England have reportedly expressed interest in securing the services of the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner. However, Romano has indicated that while interest is brewing, Pogba has not yet made a final decision about his next chapter. More updates on his future are expected to unfold in the coming weeks.
Speculation of a United Return
The possibility of Pogba training at Manchester United’s Carrington sparked excitement among fans, many of whom recall his two stints at the club. Pogba first joined United as a youth player and later returned in 2016 for a then-record transfer fee, contributing to their Europa League and EFL Cup victories. However, his time at Old Trafford was marred by injuries and inconsistent performances, leading to mixed memories among supporters.
As Pogba continues to work on his fitness in Miami, eyes are on his next move. With his ban lifted in time for a March return, the upcoming weeks will likely reveal where the 91-time capped France international will restart his career. The midfielder’s future promises to be one of the most intriguing stories to watch in the January transfer window and beyond.
