He went around the American stadiums
Always without a club since its termination with Juventus, Pogba takes the time to assess its options. Aware that this choice could seal the last stage of his career, the former Mancunian would have been seen in several MLS stadiums in recent weeks, a sign of a real appeal for the North American championship.
DC United, in search of renewal after several disappointing seasons, aims to return to the front of the stage. The club, which had already caused a sensation by recruiting Wayne Rooney, wants to hit a big blow again. In addition to Pogba, contacts would also have been established with Kevin de Bruyne for summer.
At 32, Paul Pogba seems ready to turn the page on European football. His last seasons, marked by repeated injuries and a suspension fraught with consequences, have slowed down his momentum. Joining the MLS, and in particular a club like DC United, would offer him a quieter environment to relaunch his career and fully enjoy his last years on the field.
