Man Utd urged to acquire Paul Pogba ‘X-factor’ on two-year contract – with Treble hero telling Ruben Amorim that World Cup winner is ‘better than what we have’

Premier League

Wolverhampton

Manchester United

<p>The France international, who has previously taken in two spells at Old Trafford, is currently a free agent after seeing his contract at Juventus terminated. That decision was taken as Pogba continues to serve a doping ban – with an initial <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/paul-pogba-warned-football-return-tough-18-months-out-man-utd-rumours-signing-free-agent/bltfc57278a80cdfd32" target="_blank">four-year suspension being reduced to 18 months on appeal</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Pogba will be free to resume his professional career in March 2025, but will need to find a club prior to that so that he can join training and begin working on his fitness. There have been suggestions that he could be <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/third-man-utd-spell-paul-pogba-training-claim-former-red-devils-star-urges-club-consider-signing-world-cup-winner-free-agent/blt6ac6d20c83cddc1e" target="_blank">invited to rejoin the Red Devils’ ranks</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Yorke believes the 31-year-old <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-baby-paul-pogba-worth-gamble-man-utd-red-devils-legend-third-spell-old-trafford-free-agent/blt60b6873c38e776f1" target="_blank">midfielder is worth taking a gamble on</a>, with the former frontman telling <a href="https://sportslens.com/ " target="_blank"><em>Sports Lens</em></a>: “Paul Pogba is better than what we have, that's for sure. Whether the fans will welcome him back and make life easy for him, I don’t know, that could be the problem he faces.</p><p>“A fit Pogba, playing football the way he can play football, will definitely add value to the team. He's a sensational player; he's a really good talent. He offers that little bit of an X-factor by being there. He does things that no other players can do. I would think with the ban, being out of football he'll have a little bit of a point to prove. He doesn't drink, he obviously looks after himself, so you can take a punt on a two-year deal.</p><p>“I would review it. I certainly wouldn’t turn my nose up at it. I would really consider it. Why would you not? When you look at what we have in midfield, Pogba coming into that would instantly improve things.”</p>

WHAT YORKE SAID

<p>Pogba has not played a competitive game since early September 2023, but his pedigree remains without question. Alongside the talk of returning to United, the World Cup winner has also been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/paul-pogba-dream-move-marseille-dimitri-payet-link-up-former-man-utd-team-mate-mason-greenwood/blt178a1154436e429b" target="_blank">linked with Ligue 1 outfit Marseille</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lionel-messi-bodyguard-secret-agent-yassine-cheuko-nba-experience-paul-pogba-world-cup-winner-mls-inter-miami/blta83a5952e3146de1" target="_blank">several teams in MLS</a>.</p>
