Manchester United’s early season form has been under the microscope, with the Red Devils impressing fans with their attacking prowess and tactical fluidity.
Ruben Amorim’s side have been relentless in their pursuit of dominating possession and putting pressure on every Premier League defence.
Across Europe, clubs are gearing up for another thrilling Champions League campaign, with high-stakes fixtures already drawing huge attention.
Premier League sides are monitoring the early group stage closely, knowing that every match can define the season.
Meanwhile, AS Monaco are quietly preparing for their own European journey, with questions about squad depth and fitness at the forefront of their planning.
Amid this backdrop, former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has made the headlines by being included in AS Monaco’s squad for the 2025–26 Champions League league phase, as seen on UEFA’s official website.
The 32-year-old joined the Principality club on a two-year deal this summer, following the reduction of his doping ban from a potentially career-threatening four years to 18 months.

Paul Pogba has not featured competitively for over two years, last appearing for Juventus in September 2023 before his suspension.
Monaco are easing Pogba back into action, with the French World Cup winner yet to play in Ligue 1 this season.
However, his inclusion in the European squad raises the tantalising prospect of a blockbuster debut against none other than Manchester City on October 1 at the Stade Louis II.
While a starting role is unlikely, there is a chance he could feature on the bench or be gradually introduced in upcoming matches.
If Pogba misses the opening clash, he could make his Champions League debut against another Premier League opponent, Tottenham Hotspur, three weeks later at home.
Monaco’s schedule during the league phase also includes Bodo/Glimt, Pafos, Galatasaray, Real Madrid, and a return to Juventus, offering plenty of opportunities for the former United man to announce his return to European football.
For Manchester United fans, Pogba’s re-emergence serves as a reminder of his influential years at Old Trafford, while also highlighting the twists and turns of a career that has been full of highs, setbacks, and now, a potential renaissance on the continental stage.
