Former Manchester United star returns to professional football after 2 years

Paul Pogba Joins AS Monaco, Included in Champions League Squad

In a significant move, French midfielder Paul Pogba has been named in AS Monaco's squad for the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League. The 32-year-old World Cup winner joined the Ligue 1 club in July 2025 on a free transfer after his Juventus contract ended amid a doping ban appeal.

Pogba, who has been training to regain peak fitness, awaits his debut. Monaco, drawn in Group C with teams like Bayern Munich, aims to leverage his experience. Manager Adi Hütter praised Pogba's leadership. This marks Pogba's return to French football since leaving Manchester United in 2022.
