Former Manchester United player and French world cup winner Paul Pogba will start training with former team this week ahead of stunning football return!
Paul Pogba, once a star midfielder for Manchester United, is taking his talents from the soccer field to the big screen. He is set to star in a French film scheduled for release in April 2025. This new venture comes at a tumultuous time for Pogba, who is currently serving a four-year suspension from sports following a failed drug test.
The controversy began after Juventus’ season opener against Udinese, where Pogba tested positive for DHEA, a substance known to enhance testosterone levels. Despite the setback, Pogba has stated that he never knowingly violated anti-doping regulations and plans to appeal the suspension.
Amidst these challenges, Pogba has found a new outlet in acting. According to the French publication, Le Parisien, he was spotted filming in Paris. He’s reportedly playing a young football coach in the sequel to the popular French movie “3 Zeroes,” titled “4 Zeros.” On set, Pogba was described as relaxed and natural, impressing onlookers with his ease in front of the camera. He shot scenes at Parc Stadium in Rueil-Malmaison, on the outskirts of Paris, where he brought a sense of authenticity to his role.
The plot of “4 Zeros” is centered around a young footballer from Comoros who dreams of playing for Paris Saint-Germain, much like the renowned Kylian Mbappe. The film taps into themes of ambition and the search for new talent, paralleling Pogba’s own life in many ways.
Meanwhile, Pogba’s return to Juventus has been fraught with difficulties. Since leaving Manchester United in 2022, he has faced numerous injuries and limited playing time, further complicated by his doping scandal. Following the positive result on his initial test, Pogba sought verification with a B-sample, which also tested positive, leading to discussions at Juventus about possibly terminating his contract.
As Pogba navigates these professional setbacks, his foray into acting could mark an exciting new chapter. With his debut film role, he opens up new possibilities for his career, transitioning from international football to potentially becoming a star on the cinema screen.
