Paul Pogba’s Football Career
Paul Pogba who plays for Juventus right now, has made quite a name for himself in football. He’s really good as a central midfielder and has played for some of the biggest teams in Europe. He started playing professionally with Manchester United then went to Juventus in 2012 for free. When he went back to Manchester United in 2016 it was like the biggest transfer ever at that time, and now he’s back at Juventus since 2022. One of the best things he did was winning the FIFA World Cup with France in 2018.
Challenges in the Football World
The Pogba thing isn’t the only problem in football, there’s been lots of legal and ethical stuff going on. Like Manchester City’s got all these legal problems about money stuff, and people getting arrested for saying racist things at big matches, football keeps having all these different problems. It shows how football needs better rules and standards to make sure everything stays fair and proper.
