About Paul Pogba in brief
Paul Labile Pogba (born 15 March 1993) is a French professional footballer who plays for Premier League club Manchester United and the France national team. He operates primarily as a central midfielder, but can also be deployed as an attacking midfielder, defensive midfielder and deep-lying playmaker. Pogba began his football career at the age of six playing for US Roissy-en-Brie, a few miles south of his hometown. He spent seven seasons at the club before joining US Torcy, where he served as captain of the club’s under-13 team. In 2009, Pogba joined the youth team of Ligue 1 side Le Havre in 2007, before a protracted transfer brought him to Manchester United two years later. In 2012, he joined Italian side Juventus on a free transfer and helped the club to four consecutive Serie A titles, as well as two Coppa Italia and two Supercoppa Italiana titles. His performances at Juventus led to him returning to Man United in 2016 for a then-world record transfer fee of €105 million. In his first season back, he won the League Cup and the Europa League. In the 2018–19 season, he was named to the PFA Team of the Year. He captained France to victory at the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup and took home the award for the Best Player for his performances during the tournament. He later represented his nation at UEFA Euro 2016 on home soil, before winning the 2018 FIFA World Cup, scoring the winning goal in the final.
He has two older brothers who are twins – Florentin and Mathias – born in Guinea, who are also footballers and play for the Guinean national team and are currently a free agent, as a forward. He is Muslim. Growing up, PogBA was a fan of Arsenal. He also has a twin brother who is also a footballer and plays for FC Sochaux-Montbéliard. He was born in Lagny-sur-Marne, Seine-et-MarNE, to Guineans parents. He grew up playing for French side US Toricy. In July 2009, he announced that he was joining the youth academy of Manchester United in England. The move surprised his parent club, as it allegedly had a ‘non-solicitation agreement’ with Pogba, which was agreed to by not only the player but also his parents in 2006. The agreement was in place until the end of the 2009–10 season, allowed Le Havle to sign Pogba to an aspirant contract once the player met specific age and scholarship requirements. In response to the accusations, Manchester United threatened to sue the club for monetary reasons, which Le HavRE had alleged to be £87,000 and a house and house. On the same day of Pogba’s announcement to depart for England, Torcy released a press release criticising Le Havre’s accusations, stating that the club acted with the same tactics it purported to have used to recruit Pogba.
