Paul Pogba has been away from football for a long time. His last match was more than two years ago, but he is expected to return to the pitch soon. As things stand, in the Major League Soccer (MLS).The Athletic reports that the former French international has been contacted by D.C. United, which has an advantage in negotiations over other clubs in the league due to the league’s ‘discovery’ rule. This rule allows clubs to create a list of up to five players they want to negotiate before their competitors.Pogba’s birthday comes earlier this year – his ban ends today, but where from here?During his doping ban, Pogba spent a lot of time in the United States over the past two years, where he was often seen attending MLS matches. Due to his close relations with the club’s co-owner, Jason Levien, D.C. United took the opportunity to ‘book’ the former Juventus and Manchester United star.If he were to sign with the Washington-based club, Pogba would join Christian Benteke. The Belgian is currently the most prominent name in a team that has had a poor start to the season. After ten rounds, D.C. United have only nine points and sits in 13th place, third from the bottom, in the Eastern Conference.EXCLUSIVE Benteke for Mozzart Sport Kenya: I wish to go back to Africa to help peoplePogba failed a doping test in September 2023, and was later handed a four-year ban from football. The suspension was later reduced to 18 months and expired in March 2025. In the meantime, Juventus released the Frenchman. Pogba attempted to find a club to stay in Europe, but there was no interest. All signs now point to a new chapter for the 32-year-old midfielder in the United States.##NAJAVA_MECA_8893832##
