Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has signed for Ligue 1 side AS Monaco on a two-year deal.
The 2018 World Cup winner’s move to France marks Pogba’s return to football after seven months without a club. The midfielder was a free agent after agreeing to the mutual termination of his Juventus contract in November last year.
In a statement on their website, the Ligue 1 club announced: “AS Monaco are delighted to announce the arrival of Paul Pogba. The French World Champion has signed a 2-season deal, and is now tied to the Principality until 30 June 2027.”
Juventus decided to part ways with Pogba after an initial four-year ban in February 2024 for a doping offence was reduced to 18 months.
Paul Pogba’s Premier League best bits for Manchester United
The 32-year-old was free to return to football in March as the 18-month period began at the point of his provisional ban, which was issued in September 2023. However, Pogba has not made a professional appearance since, with his last coming as a substitute in a 2-0 victory for Juventus over Empoli.
The midfielder left Old Trafford in 2022 on a free transfer to return to Juventus and went on to make 12 appearances during his second spell in Turin.
Pogba will link up with former Tottenham and Bayern Munich defender Eric Dier, who also joined the Ligue 1 club on a free transfer this summer.
Monaco finished third in Ligue 1 last season, behind champions Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille, and will be hoping the arrival of the World Cup winner can help bridge the gap towards the top of the table.

Getty Images United States men's national team manager Mauricio Pochettino has denied a report that he interviewed with Premier League club Brentford for their now-filled coaching gig, according to Fox Sports.Pochettino was asked about it on Saturday after a report out of Ireland said he was a candidate ahead of facing Costa Rica in the Gold Cup quarterfinals. While Pochettino has been a successful Premier League manager overseeing Southampton, Tottenham, and Chelsea, he's under contract with the USMNT until the end of the 2026 World Cup after just being appointed to lead the USMNT in September of 2024 when they moved on from Gregg Berhalter.Brentford became the final team in the Premier League to name their head coach, with Keith Andrews being tabbed to replace Thomas Frank.

Bruins still eyeing trades with NHL Draft behind them and a shallow free-agent market ahead
BOSTON — Will Moore is 18 years old. The Boston Bruins’ second-round selection will be a Boston College freshman this fall after scoring 27 goals and 32 assists for the U.S. National Team Development Program’s Under-18 team in 2024-25. The reedy 6-foot-2 left-shot center weighed 180 pounds at the 2025 NHL Scouting Combine.AdvertisementTranslation: It’s going to take time for Moore to turn pro.“He’s got a lot of physical maturing to still do,” general manager Don Sweeney said. “The college environment will allow him to do that.”You can take that declaration and multiply it by several more degrees for the Bruins’ subsequent selections: defenseman Liam Pettersson (second round), forward Cooper Simpson (third), defenseman Vashek Planar (fourth), forward Cole Chandler (fifth) and forward Kirill Yemelyanov (sixth).So as much as the Bruins took a helpful step toward introducing desperately needed skill and offensive […]

Orioles ‘not committed to a path’ for trade deadline yet, says GM Mike Elias, so what would a sale look like?
The Baltimore Orioles are probably the most disappointing club in baseball in 2025. This was the 2023 AL East champion and a 2024 AL wild-card team and they were sitting 12 back in the division and seven back of the third wild-card spot when games began Saturday. And then the Orioles got clobbered by the Rays, 11-3, at home, dropping them to 35-47 on the season. The trade deadline this season is July 31, so we're just about one month away. The Orioles still have a chance to get hot and climb within striking range of a playoff spot and if that's the case, they should be doing everything possible to try and get there. If they fall back a few more games, however, the writing is on the proverbial wall that it just isn't happening this season, in which case […]
