'Give him a contract!' - Man Utd urged to sign Paul Pogba for a THIRD time by ex-Red Devils striker with Frenchman backed to turn Ruben Amorim's fortunes around

The World Cup-winning Frenchman is a product of the Red Devils’ fabled academy system. He returned to Old Trafford from a stint at Juventus in 2016 as the most expensive player in world football. Unfortunately, the all-action midfielder struggled to live up to his £89 million ($113m) price tag.

He departed again in 2022 but, after another spell in Turin, is currently a free agent after seeing his contract in Italy terminated while serving a doping ban. Pogba has been linked with teams around the world, including MLS outfit Inter Miami – who have Lionel Messi on their books – and Ligue 1 giants Marseille.

Yorke believes United should be exploring the option of bringing Pogba back to Manchester, with the 1999 Treble winner telling casinobeats.com: “It's an interesting take. I would give Paul Pogba a third chance, definitely, because of what United currently have and because of what we know he is capable of producing.

“Obviously, with two months left, I would say, let's have a look. Give him a contract. You've got time here to prove yourself. You can come and play and help us out with the situation I’m sure Pogba would be very keen. Maybe he might want a long-term deal because of the security.

“I can see why his name has been mentioned because United have struggled, and Pogba is a damn good player. Even though he’s 31, I think he's far better than what we have now. And if you're going to get a player for free, who's far better than all our players in midfield, then you do it.”

United have been struggling for creativity and goal threat under Ruben Amorim, with it clear that something needs to be done in order to reverse that trend and deliver an upturn in collective fortunes. Pogba may be the man to help provide a spark in familiar surroundings.
