The Truth: Can Paul Pogba Resurrect His Career?

The Truth: Can Paul Pogba Resurrect His Career?

It's time for The Truth!

Sam Tighe and Dougie Critchley take a look into the career of Paul Pogba, the reasons he ended up in a four-year-ban from the game, and what the future holds for him now that the ban has been reduced to 18 months - meaning he can return to football in March 2025.

We look at the traits that made Pogba such a joyful experience to watch on the pitch, as well as those which frustrated fans; what his best role has been and could be in the future; and determine exactly what would constitute a success upon his return to the beautiful game, as well as mooting some options where his future might lie in terms of club football.

Is this the story of a wasted wonderkid, whose actual career didn't leave up to the remarkable talent that he no doubt possessed, or is Pogba's maverick style about to return with flair and panache as he gets a reprieve and a second chance to write the end of his legacy whilst he's still relatively young?

The Truth is somewhere in the middle...
