In 2025, Pogba stands tall at approximately 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 meters) and weighs around 220 pounds (100 kg). His athletic physique, along with his impressive height, gives him a significant advantage on the field, allowing him to dominate in aerial duels and midfield battles. His measurements are often cited in terms of his broad shoulders and powerful build, making him one of the most physically imposing players in the sport.
On 11 July 2022, Juventus announced Pogba's return on a four-year contract. On 26 July, Pogba injured the meniscus in his knee, and was sidelined for two months. The injury later required surgery that ruled him out until at least after the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
He eventually made his first appearance of the season, and his second debut for Juventus, as a substitute in a 4–2 win over Torino on 28 February 2023.
On 9 March, he was dropped from the Juventus squad by manager Massimiliano Allegri for a Europa League match against Freiburg due to disciplinary reasons, as he had turned up late to a team dinner. Four days later, it was reported by the media that Pogba had suffered a muscle injury in training, and that he would be out of action for three weeks.
On 14 May 2023, in a league match against Cremonese he received his first starting lineup nomination of the season. He had to be subbed off after only 23 minutes due to a muscle injury. Medical examinations later revealed a lesion in his left thigh, thus ruling him out for the remainder of the season. He only played a combined 161 minutes.

Pogba's family is of significant importance to him, and he frequently expresses gratitude for their support throughout his career.
On 31 July 2009, Pogba announced that he was departing Le Havre to join the youth academy of Manchester United in England. The move surprised his parent club, as it allegedly had a "non-solicitation agreement" with Pogba, which was agreed to by not only the player but also his parents in 2006.
The agreement, which was in place until the end of the 2009–10 season, allowed Le Havre to sign Pogba to an aspirant (youth) contract once the player met specific age and scholarship requirements. On 1 August, Le Havre released an official statement on its website criticising Manchester United and the Pogba family.
Le Havre also announced its intent to ask FIFA to probe the situation.
