Paul Pogba reunited with some former Manchester United team-mates at the Club World Cup as he continues his hunt for his next club after his return from a doping ban.

In the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s final judgement it was confirmed that Pogba did inadvertently take DHEA, a substance that boosts testosterone that is on WADA’s banned list.

Crucially, however, the ruling states that DHEA only has an affect on females.

Pogba was facing potential retirement from football had CAS upheld his four-year suspension, but his ban was lifted in March and he is now free to play football again.

The midfielder does, though, remain without a club and is yet to decide his future despite being linked with a number of sides in recent months.

In a break from that, though, the 31-year-old jetted out to the States to catch up with some old friends in Miami as Boca Juniors took on Benfica.

Taking to Instagram, Pogba, who captioned the photo: ‘What a pleasure to see my friends!’ shared a snap of himself and four other former United players after they had just played for Benfica in their first Club World Cup match.

Sharing to his story and his 63million followers, Pogba stood in the middle of the group with his arms around two of the players.

To his left was goalkeeper Sergio Romero, who played 61 times for United – 21 times alongside Pogba – between 2015 and 2021. To his right was forward Edinson Cavani. The former Paris Saint-Germain man played 59 times for United – 36 with Pogba – joining in 2020 and leaving in 2022.

Next to Romero was Marcos Rojo. The centre back played for United for seven years, playing 48 times alongside the World Cup winner.

The final man in the picture was Ander Herrera, who played alongside Pogba 84 times – and was sent off in the game despite not being on the pitch.

The 35-year-old tried to shove his way through security and approach the referee while he was in the middle of a VAR review just before half-time. Herrera was stopped and shown a red card by referee Cesar Arturo Ramos when he was made aware of the reckless behaviour of the midfielder.

He had already been substituted in the 20th minute after picking up an injury, but was seething on the sidelines at the perceived injustice of a decision against the Argentinian side.

None of the former United players scored in the 2-2 draw, but Angel Di Maria, who played for United for less than a year between 2014 and 2015, netted for Benfica.
