Paul Pogba will officially become a free agent on Nov. 30
A former Manchester United star thinks that Paul Pogba could return to the club for a third stint; however, Manchester Evening News readers don't even want to entertain the thought.
Pogba's footballing ban expires in 2025, after having his suspension reduced from four years to eighteen months. He can join a new team in January 2025 but can't play until March.
The France international left his last club, Juventus, having only managed to clock up 203 minutes over the course of two seasons. And former United player Louis Saha has said that going back to the club where he made his Premier League debut could boost his comeback efforts.

Speaking to Casino Utan Spelpaus, he said: "I've heard some rumours that Paul Pogba will be offered the opportunity to come back and train with Man Utd in the New Year, and I think that would be a great opportunity for Paul. He needs to get back to his best level as quickly as possible, and training with top players will help him to do that. I think he would be thrilled to have the opportunity to go back to the club."
However, our readers in the comments section of the article believe that Manchester United should not even think about it. Commenter Jibba said: “I'd accept Southgate as manager before I'd accept Pogba back. Even the club wouldn't touch him.”

Trouble4 wrote: “Pogba is dressing room trouble, full stop. Anyway, this nonsense is from Saha and his comments, like Paul Parker and Dwight Yorke, are a waste of time reading.”
RedDevil20 said: “When I think of what has gone wrong in the past and present with United, Pogba's name crops up. Please do not let him return.”
And Daves thinks: “Get Pogba in, on a pay-per-play basis. What have we got to lose? He's far better than the current crop of midfielders we have. Sure it's a gamble, but it might just be worth it.”
