Paul Pogba has joined Monaco on a two-year contract as he returns to competitive football following a doping suspension.

The former Manchester United and Juventus midfielder was provisionally suspended after being randomly tested following Juventus’ opening game of the 2023-24 season against Udinese.

The France World Cup winner later received a four-year ban which was cut to 18 months in October following an appeal.

He agreed a mutual termination of his contract with Juventus in November and has been free to recommence his career since March.
