Pogba 'Told' To Retire Amid Looming Ban

Pogba 'Told' To Retire Amid Looming Ban

Paul Pogba

France star Paul Pogba has been urged to retire from football if he is given a four-year ban following his failed drug test.

The Juventus midfielder is still awaiting results from a counter-analysis after he recently tested positive for testosterone. If he is found to have intentionally taken the hormone, Pogba could reportedly be facing a suspension of up to four years.

Should that happen, former Arsenal and Les Bleus player Emmanuel Petit believes the 30-year-old should hang up his boots as it would be too difficult for him to get back to playing football at the highest level.

"Paul Pogba should definitely retire if he is given a four-year ban," he told Betway.

"When you are suspended for that long, you can't even come to the training ground.

"That leaves you going to the gym or the park with no teammates, no balls, nothing. Four years for a 30-year-old player is a long time.

"His time at Manchester United didn't end well, and in France, we think he's been a disaster since then.

"Forget football, forget money, it's a disaster for him. He's completely destroyed. He's nothing like the Pogba we used to know. There's no way he'll be back in high-level football."
