Paul Labile Pogba (born 15 March 1993) is a French professional footballer who is a free agent. He last played club football for Serie A club Juventus, and represents for the France national team. Pogba is currently serving a doping ban and is ineligible to play.^[4] He primarily plays as a central midfielder but can also play as an attacking midfielder or as a defensive midfielder.^[5]\n

Born in Lagny-sur-Marne, Pogba joined the youth team of Ligue 2 side Le Havre in 2007. He joined Manchester United two years later. After beginning his senior career in Manchester, limited appearances caused him to join Italian club Juventus on a free transfer in 2012, where he helped the club win four consecutive Serie A titles, two Coppa Italia titles, and two Supercoppa Italiana titles. During his time in Italy, Pogba further established himself as one of the most promising young players in the world and received both the Golden Boy award in 2013 and by the Bravo Award in 2014. Pogba was named in the 2015 UEFA Team of the Year and in the 2015 FIFA FIFPro World XI after helping Juventus to the 2015 Champions League final, their first final in twelve years.\n

Pogba's performances at Juventus led to him returning to Manchester United in 2016 for a then-world record transfer fee of \u20ac105 million (\u00a389.3 million).^[6] The fee was the highest for an English club until 2021.^[7] In his first season back, he won the League Cup and the Europa League.^[8] In the 2018\u201319 season, he was named in the PFA Team of the Year.\n

Internationally, Pogba captained France to victory at the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup and was named the Best Player of the tournament. He debuted for the senior team a year later and played at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, where he was named the Best Young Player. He represented France at UEFA Euro 2016 on home soil where he finished as a runner-up. He then won the 2018 FIFA World Cup and scored in the final.\n
