Paul Pogba sparks transfer frenzy with one-word next club hint after Man United return claim

Paul Pogba has hinted at a decision over his next club coming soon as he prepares to return to football. Just three months away now from being eligible to feature once more, the former Manchester United midfielder is gearing up for a comeback.

Currently without a team after parting ways with Juventus last month, Pogba's ban is set to end in March 2025 having been reduced from four years to just 18 months. It leaves the 31-year-old with a shot at establishing himself in the world game yet again.

Blighted by injuries since his second exit from Old Trafford, the Frenchman hasn't played regular football four over two seasons. As he looks to find a way back to the top, Pogba is now promoting himself online.

Suggesting that something could be on the horizon, Pogba posted to Instagram. He wrote: "Loading... [timer emoji]". It comes shortly after he appeared on Brazilian TV.

Speaking to Brazilian influencer Luva de Pedreiro, Pogba was called during a chat show and appeared to be asked how much it would take for him to play for Corinthians. With former United teammate Memphis Depay plying his trade at the South American giants, Pogba responded he would do it for free and just wants to get back onto the pitch.

Pogba's comments haven't gone unnoticed, though, with flocks of supporters taking to his comments on Instagram to push a move to Corinthians. Many reference the Brazilian side whilst Luva himself added an eyes emoji.

Such is Pogba's popularity across the world still, many have called for a big team to take a punt on him with Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain among those tipped. Ex-United attacker Luis Saha has taken a different route.

"I think the United squad lacks power in the midfield, and we're missing a skilful player that can play box-to-box, so he would be a good addition because he's a different profile of player to what United have," he told Casino Utan Spelpaus. "When I look at Pogba, I think that many teams in the Premier League would find signing him as a free agent an attractive proposition.

"Forget about the salary, I'm sure Paul is ready to find a compromise on that as he wants to play football again after such a long time on the sidelines. When I think about Pogba, there are more positives with signing him than there are negatives, and I think he's a player that should interest Manchester United in January."
