Claim: A Facebook user claims<\/a> that former Manchester United player Paul Pogba has signed a two-year deal with the former club.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Verdict: False. No credible news outlet has reported such a signing. Moreover, neither Manchester United nor the French international has approached the other for a third spell at the English club.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full Text<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

French international and former Juventus and Manchester United star Paul Pogba is now a free agent<\/a> after exhausting his 18-month doping ban in March 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The midfielder had initially received a four-year ban on doping allegations, but his sentence was reduced after a successful appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS). However, the judicial proclamation also meant he would forfeit playing time, thus being without a contract with any club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amidst his recent return, a Facebook user, FIFA 2022 WORLD CUP QATAR updates<\/a>, claims that the 32-year-old has signed a two-year contract with his former club and Premier League side, Manchester United. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBREAKING NEWS: !! Manchester United took me as their own when others rejected me. It\u2019s a great privilege given to me by Ruben Amorim to be here again,\u201d Paul Pogba\u2019s official message to fans after pending down two-year contract with Man United today\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of Friday, March 21, 2026, the claim has earned 8,000 likes, 554 comments, and 52 shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DUBAWA viewed the reactions of other Facebook users and noticed that some pointed out that there is no official statement about the new development. At the same time, some outrightly tagged it as fake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAny statement that is not official is a false one,\u201d Modoulamin Jatta commented. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThough not confirmed yet, but not entirely fake,\u201d Opakunle Olukunle wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFake news, and we don\u2019t need this guy,\u201d Tom Sibanda Dawuza dismissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 After comments questioning the post\u2019s authenticity, DUBAWA decided to verify the claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verification<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

DUBAWA conducted a keyword search on Google concerning the midfielder\u2019s alleged contract status with Manchester United and noticed that no credible news outlet (local or international) reported the development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manchester Evening News<\/a> wrote on March 16, 2025, that the French international is \u201con the lookout for a new club\u201d and has been linked to several clubs, \u201cincluding a third spell at United,\u201d but nothing official has been confirmed yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transfer Market<\/a> indicates that the midfielder has been \u201cwithout a club\u201d since Dec. 1, 2024, the same time he terminated his former contract with Serie A side Juventus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier in February, Yahoo! Sports<\/a> reported that former player Louis Saha had urged Manchester United to sign Pogba, not just because the Premier League giants were afflicted with injuries but also because of how formidable the midfielder is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would take Paul Pogba back at Manchester United in a heartbeat. It\u2019s not only because of the squad that we have now with injuries and all that but also because of all the elements he brings as a player,\u201d Saha said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treble winner Dwight Yorke had also told<\/a> Manchester United to sign Pogba, stating expressly he \u201cwould give Pogba a third chance\u201d with merit to his fantastic playing style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, TeamTalk<\/a> reported that the English side had not moved to sign the French international and their once-beloved player. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, Manchester United has not reported<\/a> the recent signing of the 32-year-old into the English club.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The claim is false. No reports from credible media outlets corroborate the Facebook user\u2019s claim. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
