In a move that has sparked widespread excitement and speculation, Paul Pogba was spotted at Old Trafford in the early hours of today, raising fresh rumours that the French international could be on the verge of a shock return to Manchester United.
According to reports making the rounds, Pogba is rumoured to have agreed on a two-year contract with the Red Devils as a free agent, after reportedly rejecting offers from several Champions League clubs.
This unexpected development has captured the imagination of football fans worldwide, especially Manchester United supporters, who are buzzing at the prospect of welcoming Pogba back to Old Trafford.
The French midfielder previously had two spells at the club — the first as a youth player and the second when he returned in 2016 for a then-world record fee.
During that period, Pogba made significant contributions, helping United win the UEFA Europa League and the EFL Cup, while becoming a key figure in the midfield.
Though immensely talented, Pogba’s last few years at the club were inconsistent, plagued by injuries and mixed performances, which eventually led to his departure in 2022.
After leaving United, Pogba returned to Juventus, but following a challenging period in Turin, he is now a free agent after the expiry of his contract.
His presence at Old Trafford this morning has further fuelled speculation that Manchester United may be looking to bring the 31-year-old back into their squad.
With the summer transfer window nearing its conclusion, this could be a golden opportunity for the club to reinforce its midfield depth at little cost.
Talks between Pogba’s representatives and United are believed to be ongoing, though nothing official has yet been confirmed.
From a tactical perspective, Pogba’s return could offer United a huge lift.
His vision, passing range, physicality, and ability to control the tempo of a game remain assets any side would value.
In a season where United are aiming to compete strongly in both domestic and European competitions, Pogba’s experience and quality could prove crucial.
Furthermore, under the current management, Manchester United is undergoing a rebuilding phase, aiming to blend experienced players with younger talent to form a squad capable of challenging for major honours. Pogba could be a perfect fit for this approach.
However, despite the growing excitement among fans, it is important to note that there is no official confirmation that Pogba has signed or will be signing for Manchester United.
Verified reports indicate that Pogba, after completing an 18-month doping ban, is in advanced talks with AS Monaco over a two-year deal, which is expected to be finalised soon.
While United’s name has been linked with the midfielder, there have been no formal negotiations or concrete steps towards a deal as of now.
Even so, the sighting of Pogba at Old Trafford has certainly reignited nostalgia and hope among the fanbase.
Should this rumour materialise into reality, it could mark an exciting new chapter for both Pogba and Manchester United.
