Having already been linked with a move to MLS or potential third stint at Old Trafford, Pogba has seen a return to his native France speculated on. There were suggestions that he could link up with former United team-mate Greenwood at Stade Velodrome.
Marseille’s sporting director, Mehdi Benatia, has played down such talk as Pogba will need to prove his fitness before the Ligue 1 outfit show any interest in doing a deal. The 31-year-old midfielder has not made a competitive appearance since September 3, 2023.
Benatia has told of the Pogba rumours: “He is a player, a man that both President Longoria and I admire. We thought about him, we wanted to do it, but did it make sense to bring in a Pogba who was not yet in shape?
“The risk was to disrupt the balance of the team with a player who wouldn’t have been at his best by the end of the season. However, if the opportunity arises, we would be happy to have a player like Pogba who can help us in the next campaign.”
