Top quotes on Paul Pogba

Having been named as the Best Young Player at the previous World Cup, Pogba was one of the goal scorers as France celebrated winning the prestigious trophy at the 2018 tournament with a young and up-and-coming team. Still applying his skills at Premier League side Manchester United, we take a look at the top quotes on French star Paul Pogba.

Born to Guinean parents, Pogba joined the youth squad at Manchester United FC and is currently in his eighth season with the club in his second spell there.

A move to Juventus in 2012 led to four consecutive league titles for the Italian side as well as a Champions League final appearance, the club’s first in 12 years. The transfer back to United envoked a world record fee for a footballer, and two trophies were picked up in his first season back.

As well as a World Cup winner, Pogba helped France to win the UEFA Nations League in 2021. So far, he has played 91 times for his national team, with many more to come.

Seen as a central midfielder who can attack, Pogba has shown a wide variety of roles on the football field, deployed sometimes as a winger, a defensive player, and a playmaker. Still aged just 29, Pogba will be looking to enjoy more success with club and country in the coming years.
