The year 2022 was probably the worst in Paul Pogba’s career, but 2023 doesn’t look so good either. The talented midfielder, a world champion with France was at the end of his second spell with Manchester United, which was even worse than the first one, when he hardly played under sir Alex Ferguson, and decided to sign for Juventus as a free agent for the wage of around 10 million euros per year. But he got injured during the pre-season and so far, played only 46 minutes for Juventus! And according to the player himself, his personal drama, which started in 2021 was the main reason for his mental health, which also took its toll on his body and injuries which followed.Always good to see you play @paulpogba 🇫🇷🐙 pic.twitter.com/KBnYyUsC73— Lega Serie A (@SerieA_EN) April 17, 2023 According to a report in L’Equipe, the player testified again in March this year, and told the judges the series of events in his famous extortion case.

Pogba karogwa? He is injured yet again!According to Pogba, this whole stressful situation with armed extortion, kidnapping and criminal conspiracy had a massive influence on his mind and body since 2022, when the first contact with these men happened.“I kept all of this to myself for a long time and then I revealed it. This case has had a big impact on my body, especially on my injuries. I’ve spoken about it with the French national team manager” he said to the judges, according to L’Equipe, while also adding that he feared not only for his life, but also for the life of his family and friends.Pogba’s mrogi denies casting spell on MbappeWhile the first intimidations started in 2022 when he was still in Manchester, the main ‘event’ happened in Paris when he was on international duty. Face to face with the extortionists, Pogba decided to pay 100.000 euros in order to ‘buy time’, but they continued to ask for more money. And then in August his brother Mathias released a video vowing he would soon make a series of ‘great revelations’ about his brother, including a claim of how Paul used a mrogie to cast a spell on Kylian Mbappe. Pogba admitted he used a sorcerer, but only to help him with his injuries and nothing more.Juventus: big ambitions, even bigger name, huge problemsWhatever the mrogi did, it didn’t help, as the French international got injured in July during a pre-season tour of the United States, refused to have surgery for six weeks in the hope of recovering in time for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, then did go under the knife, got healthy in 2023, before being injured again while practicing free kicks in training.
