“La Pioche” will discover Ligue 1! After two years of inactivity, due to injuries and positive testosterone control in the summer of 2023, Paul Pogba signed up to 2027 with AS Monaco. At 32 years old, the former star milieu of the French team of Didier Deschamps, a great leader of the 2018 world champions, will try to relaunch his career in a new championship.

Pogba finished his training at Manchester United Academy, playing seven first team matches under the orders of Sir Alex Ferguson, but finally signed free to Juventus, where he hatched from 2012 to 2016. Crack was then recruited by these same Red Devils to become a global attraction. However, he alternated hot and cold until 2022, before a new start at the end of the contract and another return, this time to the old lady! His club career looks like a hell of a mess …

The team take the opportunity to “The eleven of the nuggets” of the Havre AC training center. The Normand club has formed many internationals (French or foreign), like, in the defensive sector, goalkeeper Steve Mandanda, Centrals Jean-Alain Boumsong and Souleymane Diawara as well as Pascal Chimbonda and Ferland Mendy side.

The team Highlights Lassana Diarra and Vikash Dhorasoo with Paul Pogba in the midfield, in the company of Dimitri Payet. The latter, finalist of Euro 2016 with Pogba, is not trained at FC Nantes. The Reunionese arrived at the HAC at 12 years old but then left on his island four years later, to finally sign with the Canaries in 2004 in order to first evolve as a reserve team.

Finally, in attack, we find Riyad Mahrez on the right wing and Mamadou Niang in a point. Two players who are not really “nuggets” of the Le Havre training … The start of Mahrez career is well known: the native of Sarcelles has never joined a training center and started in CFA in Quimper, before joining the Le Havre reserve at the age of 19, then shining in League 2. Niang, he grew up in Le Havre and spent only one year in the center of the club.
