Pogba is under contract at Serie A giants Juventus until the summer of 2026, but there is plenty of speculation to suggest that said terms will be terminated. If that decision is taken, then the 31-year-old will become a free agent.

WHAT EVRA SAID
There has been talk of Pogba potentially joining Lionel Messi and Co in MLS, but fellow countryman Evra wants to see a proven performer return to his homeland and link up with ex-United winger Greenwood at Marseille. Evra has told the podcast: “99% of the time, I think we won't see Paul again in Juve colours. We have to turn the page. I'm going to call Medhi Benatia so that he can call him because the doors are open.”

Evra spent time with United, Juve and Marseille in his own playing career and wants the best for Pogba. It remains to be seen what response he will get from Benatia – who is now sporting director at Stade Velodrome – but there is still plenty for Pogba to offer somebody if he can rekindle a lost spark.
