Manchester United have confirmed that Paul Pogba will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of June. Pogba re-joined United in a £89million move from Juventus in 2016 and has played 233 games for the club. “Everyone at the club would like to congratulate Paul on his successful career, and thank him for his contributions to Manchester United,” the club wrote in a statement. “We wish him all the best for the next steps on a remarkable journey.”
Pogba is widely expected to move back to Juventus on a free transfer once his United contract officially expires on July 1. The 29-year-old midfielder played for Juve between 2012 and 2016 before deciding to return to United, where he spent time in the academy.
The France international has contributed 39 goals and 51 assists for United over the past six years. He helped the club win the League Cup and Europa League in his first season, but has endured a rollercoaster ride in the last few years.
His late agent, Mino Raiola, offered his client to Manchester City in January 2018 and claimed his United career was “over” in 2020 amid further tensions behind the scenes. Pogba has been a peripheral figure under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick in the 2021/22 season, making just 16 starts in the Premier League – due in part to injury.

Pogba made 178 appearances for Juventus over his four years with the club, contributing 34 goals and 40 assists. He helped win four Serie A titles, two Coppa Italia trophies and two Supercoppa titles during his first spell with the club.
His barber recently hinted at a return to Turin for the midfielder. Posting on Instagram, Pogba wrote: “You know what time it is.” To which AStarBarbers responded: “#pogback” with black and white emojis representing the colours of Juventus.
