David Ornstein: Manchester United return a no go for Paul Pogba
Manchester United’s midfield has been a glaring weakness this season. The spark just hasn’t been there, and the frustration among fans is palpable. While Eriksen’s vision and Casemiro’s physicality once anchored the team, both now seem likely to depart this summer.
It’s been a turbulent campaign, with United sorely lacking that cutting edge, someone who can unlock defences and change a game in an instant. The Red Devils are crying out for a creative force to breathe life into their attack. Could this be the transfer window that finally brings the overhaul fans have been waiting for?
David Ornstein rubbishes claims of Paul Pogba returning to Manchester United
Whispers of Paul Pogba strutting back into Manchester United’s lineup have been floating around lately. After serving his 18-month doping ban, the free-agent midfielder’s got his eyes on a fresh chapter. You would think Old Trafford might be calling his name again.
Whispers of Paul Pogba making a sensational return to Manchester United have been swirling recently. With his 18-month doping ban now served, the free-agent midfielder is eyeing a fresh chapter in his career. And for a player who has always had a flair for the dramatic, a reunion with Old Trafford might just be on the cards—at least in theory.
However, David Ornstein via a Q&A session for The Athletic,has poured cold water on the idea of a “PogBackAgain” narrative. He firmly dismissed any talk of a Manchester United return, stating it’s not even on the club’s radar. While Pogba is back in training and attracting interest elsewhere, his next move remains uncertain. For now, a return to Old Trafford looks more like fan fiction than a feasible reality.
“PogBackAgain is not on either party’s agenda. He continues to train ahead of joining a club this summer. Plenty of interest, but not aware of a firm decision being taken yet. I’ll make some checks.”
Let’s be honest, the idea of Manchester United circling back to Paul Pogba feels like a real head-scratcher. After spending so much time out of the game due to his doping ban, he’s no longer the dynamic force he once was. United are in desperate need of fresh energy in midfield, young, athletic players who can create, press, and form the backbone of a long-term project.

Since his departure, Pogba has struggled to regain any real rhythm or fitness. Sure, he had moments of magic at Old Trafford, but a reunion now feels like a poor fit for both sides. It’s time to look forward, not back.
