Professional life

After helping Juventus to the first UEFA Champions League in 12 years in 2015, Pogba won awards in both the UEFA Team of the Year and the FIFA World XI categories for the 2016 season. Because of his great performances, in 2016, when he made his return to ‘Manchester United’ for then-world record transfer fee of €105 million, Paul became the most expensive footballer in the world. The Frenchman netted his debut goal against the defending champion Leicester City on 24 September and also won UEFA Europa League. In the 2018–19 season, he was named in the PFA Team of the Year. 

As an international player, Pogba made his senior national team debut in a 2014 World Cup qualifier against Georgia. His first international goal came against Belarus on 10 September 2013. In the tournament, he was named the tournament’s Best Young Player.
