The Story of Paul Pogba

• At the age of 6, Paul joined his first football club, just a few miles from his home. Under the efficient guidance of the club's coach, Paul's skills have improved significantly. Slowly, through his efforts, he became a very competitive young player. He soon joined the club "US Torcy" and played as captain in their "Under-13" team, finally joining the famous club "Le Havre". Paul Pogba's excellent performance has attracted the attention of many clubs. (His two brothers are also still active footballers, currently playing for different European clubs.)

• In 2009, Paul joined "Manchester United". Surprisingly, "Le Havre" was angry and said he would accuse "Manchester United" of paying bribes to force Paul to terminate his contract with them. However, Paul and "Manchester United" were not affected. In October 2009, he made his Manchester United debut and performed well. In November 2010, he was called up as a member of the club's reserve team.

• In 2012, Paul refused to sign a new contract with "Manchester United", a decision not only controversial, but also criticized by the club's manager. Anyway, soon, he joined "Juventus". In December 2013, he was named "Golden Boy", an honour awarded to the best young player in Europe.

• In January 2014, Paul was named one of the ten most promising players in Europe by The Guardian. In that year, he won the "Serie A" title for the team. The same happened again in 2015 when he led the team to the "Serie A" title and helped them reach the final of the "Champions League". This is the first time in 12 years that Juventus has achieved this feat.

• In August 2016, Paul signed another contract with Manchester United. In May 2017, he led "Manchester United" to the "EFL Cup" final and scored the winning goal for the team in the "Europa League" final. This ended the club's nine-year wait for a "Europa League" title.
  

• In 2017-18, Pogba made 37 appearances in all competitions for Manchester United, scoring six goals and assisting 12 times. In 2020-21, Pogba made 42 appearances in all competitions for Manchester United, scoring six goals and assisting nine times. On 1 June 2022, Manchester United announced that Pogba would leave the club following the expiration of his contract.

• On 11 July 2022, Juventus announced Pogba's return on a four-year contract. On 29 February 2024, he received a four-year ban for doping from the Italian Anti-Doping National Tribunal, with the option to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. On 15 November 2024, Juventus announced that they had reached a mutual agreement with Pogba regarding the termination of his contract, starting from the following 30 November.
