<p>Pogba has been without a club since last November when he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/paul-pogba-juventus-over-french-midfielder-free-agent-contract-termination-heads-miami-train-next-move/blt236ed8ce0c70635c" target="_blank">mutually terminated his Juventus contract</a>.

His initial suspension of four years was reduced on appeal. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/paul-pogba-training-miami-ex-man-utd-star-vows-get-fit-after-doping-ban/blt1b386711c7783c0f#cs19a6c06063e7e720" target="_blank">The World Cup-winning midfielder is currently training in Miami </a>as he is gearing up to make a comeback to professional football. Pogba has been linked with moves to MLS and the Saudi Pro League, but has yet to receive any formal offers.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Amid speculation over his next destination, ex-United forward Saha has urged the Premier League giants to consider bringing back Pogba for a third stint at Old Trafford. Saha spoke highly of his compatriot's abilities, albeit while admitting the midfielder will carry "baggage" after so long away from the pitch.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.gentingcasino.com/insights/pr/louis-saha-exclusive-3/" target="_blank"><em>Genting Casino</em></a>, Saha said: "I think so. I think that he's still one of a kind. When you look at his quality, when you look at the squad we have in midfield, he's a better player in terms of unpredictability and technical ability. I think he's of a higher standard than the players that we have. Maybe physically, he's not as good, that's for sure. Because he hasn't played for quite a while.</p><p>"Confidence-wide, he’ll be fine. Do we have guarantees about him? We don't, but I'm sure, mentally, he's refreshed. He's motivated because he has to prove a point to many. So this is something to play with and it could be an exciting project. Yes, there is baggage, but I think he has probably learned a lot during that time. I would think that's a good gamble."</p>

WHAT LOUIS SAHA SAID

<p>Ruben Amorim's United side will be back in action in the Premier League next week as they take on Nottingham Forest in a difficult away fixture.</p>
