Youth Football Career
Pogba began playing football at the age of six and demonstrated promise early on. He became the captain of his local under-13 team. He started his youth career with US Roissy-en-Brie before moving on to Torcy and later Le Havre, where he continued to develop as a talented midfielder. His leadership qualities were recognized, and he occasionally captained youth sides throughout his early teens.
Move to Manchester United and Early Success
In 2009, Pogba transferred to Manchester United's youth academy. The move stirred controversy as Le Havre accused United of poaching him, alleging breach of contract. Eventually, the dispute was settled amicably between the clubs. He joined Manchester United's under-18 side, scoring seven goals in 21 appearances, and also participated in the FA Youth Cup, contributing to a successful campaign.
