Fans and foes alike have reacted to the four-year ban imposed on former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba on Thursday (today).
Pogba was reportedly handed a four-year ban from football after failing a drugs test last August.
The 30-year-old tested positive for testosterone after Juventus’s first game of the season against Udinese, and was given his hefty punishment by an anti-doping prosecutor’s office in Italy on Thursday, as reported by La Repubblica.
Pogba’s suspension completes a dramatic fall from grace for a player who was once the most expensive footballer in the world.
The Frenchman returned to Old Trafford in 2016 after coming through the club’s academy before thriving at Juventus, with United paying the Italian giants £89m for his services.

Don’t feel sorry for him, he brought this to himself, he never took football seriously tbh.

Omo what a horrible waste of a career, he could have sat on the same table as Xavi, Zidane Scholes, Gerrard, yaya toure but he couldn’t take it seriously. As a United fan I’m gutted for how his career has ended.

An appeal should be able to reduce the ban to 2 years max. What a wasted career for one of the most talented midfielders of his generation.

It’s over he should just be a DJ, but can he be called to perform in the champions league?? 😬

I thought he stopped playing. Haven’t heard about him since he left Man United.
