French footballer Paul Pogba is embarking on a new journey in acting after facing a doping scandal and subsequent ban from professional football.
The Juventus midfielder, who departed Manchester United in 2022, encountered turmoil in 2023 when he was implicated in a doping scandal. Following an investigation, Pogba received a four-year ban from football, prompting him to explore alternative interests.
Despite the setback, the 31-year-old seized the opportunity to delve into acting. Recent reports from ESPN reveal that Pogba filmed scenes for an upcoming movie in Paris, rumored to be a sequel to the 2002 soccer film “4 Zéros,” where he portrays a youth soccer coach. The film is scheduled for release in April 2025.
In other news, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is facing scrutiny amidst the team’s underwhelming performance. Despite leading United to a third-place finish last season, the Dutch tactician is struggling to meet expectations in his second season in charge. Although he secured the Carabao Cup last season and is poised to win the FA Cup this season, doubts about his suitability for the Red Devils persist.
Rumors abound regarding potential managerial changes at United, with new part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe reportedly considering alternatives. However, ten Hag remains steadfast in his commitment to the club, affirming that he has no plans to leave Manchester United despite uncertainties about his future.
