"Paul Pogba is set to return to professional football for the first time in two years, having served a four-year doping ban that was reduced 18 months on appeal, which meant he could play again from March 2025. Pogba, 32, will now be included in the AS Monaco squad for the first time to face Rennes on Saturday and the plan is for him to play a few minutes, sources told ESPN on Thursday."
""It was a low-key end to a United career that brought so many individual high moments," the club said in a statement. "So many beautiful goals, assists and pieces of skill. For a boy that joined the academy at 16 to make over 200 United appearances and lift the Youth Cup, along with two major pieces of silverware, is something that should be applauded and celebrated.""
