In a heartwarming moment for football fans, former Manchester United and Juventus star Paul Pogba marked his long-awaited return to the sport, making his Monaco debut on Saturday. The 32-year-old midfielder came off the bench in the 85th minute, as Monaco suffered a 4-1 loss to Rennes in the French league. Pogba's remarkable journey back to the pitch has been marred by injuries, off-field issues, and a doping ban. The once-mighty French midfielder, who helped his country win the 2018 World Cup and was the then-most expensive soccer player in history when he rejoined Manchester United in 2016 for 105 million euros, has faced numerous setbacks. After a 811-day hiatus, Pogba resumed training with Monaco during the international break, having recently overcome a minor ankle injury. His contract with the club is a two-year deal, aimed at revitalizing his career. Pogba's return to football is a testament to his resilience and determination. The midfielder has come a long way since his ban was reduced to 18 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport in October 2024, following an initial four-year ban from Italy's anti-doping court in February 2024 for testing positive for testosterone while with Juventus. As Pogba embarks on this new chapter, fans will be eagerly watching his progress, hoping to see the player who once dominated the sport reach his former glory once again.
