Emmanuel Petit has urged former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba to make a stunning return to the Premier League and join Arsenal.

Pogba, 31, will be keen to get his career back on track after his four-year ban for doping offences was reduced to 18 months following an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

The Frenchman, who won the World Cup in 2018, will be free to resume training from January 2025 and is eligible to play again in March.

Pogba returned to his former club Juventus in the summer of 2022 following a six-year spell at Manchester United, but has only made 12 appearances since moving back to Turin.

Petit expects Pogba to leave Juventus next summer on a free transfer and believes he can revive his career and ‘wash his name’ at Manchester United’s Premier League rivals Arsenal.
The ex-Arsenal midfielder, who also won the World Cup with France, also urged the Gunners to consider signing Pogba, claiming he would fit into Mikel Arteta’s midfield ‘perfectly’.

‘Paul Pogba will become a free transfer at 32-years-old,’ Petit told Jeffbet. ‘I can’t remember the last time I saw him smiling.
