'Might be tomorrow, might be two years!' - Paul Pogba delivers return update as World Cup-winning ex-Man Utd & Juventus star remains a free agent after doping ban

The World Cup-winning Frenchman has not graced a competitive fixture since September 2023. At that point, he was stung with a worldwide ban from football. An 18-month doping suspension has now been served.

Pogba was cleared to resume his professional career in March, but he remains a free agent. The 32-year-old has been linked with various club, including former employers Manchester United. Marseille, along with teams in MLS and the Saudi Pro League, have also been credited with interest.

Questions have been asked of Pogba’s fitness after such a lengthy spell on the sidelines, but he continues to work on an individual training programme. He is in no rush to land another contract and will remain patient while trying to prove his worth.

Pogba has said in a video posted on his personal Instagram account: "Just a little message. Nothing to show really, just somebody that is still hungry for the comeback, been training by himself, but never gives up on chasing his dream and what he wants to achieve.

"Just a message for all of you guys that if right now you don’t get what you want, but just keep trying and keep pushing until you get it. It might be tomorrow, it might be in one year, it might be two years, but what’s going to happen is meant to happen. Let’s go! Big up and see you very soon."

Pogba was released by Serie A giants Juventus while serving his ban. He has spent a lot of time in America since then, alongside wife Zulay and their children, with it still possible that he will find employment in the United States.
