Paul Pogba makes his return to football as he joins a new club after a doping ban
The 32-year-old became a free agent on November 30 after his contract with Juve was terminated. Pogba had been handed a four-year doping ban – following an initial suspension – in March 2024, but was able to resume playing in March this year after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) reduced his punishment to 18 months last October. He started his senior career at Manchester United before joining Juventus for a first spell in 2012, where he won four successive Serie A trophies along with two Italian Cups and two Italian Supercups. A move back to United followed in 2016 and he spent six seasons with the club, winning the Europa League and League Cup, making 233 appearances during his time at Old Trafford. The France international has been capped 91 times by his country and won the World Cup in 2018, where he scored in his team's 4-2 win over Croatia. Pogba returned to Juventus in 2022 on a four-year deal but was sanctioned in March last year having been provisionally suspended since September 2023 after testing positive for dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). However, Pogba lodged an appeal and was successful in getting his suspension reduced. Monaco finished third in Ligue 1 last season, behind champions Paris St Germain and Marseille and Pogba joins the club on a deal running until June 30, 2027.

Dublin v Tyrone: Dessie Farrell's Dubs beaten as their All-Ireland dream is over for another year
Dessie Farrell's Dublin will look to return to the All-Ireland semi-finals with 2021 champions Tyrone standing in their way. Throw-in at Croke Park is 6.15pm and you can follow all the action as it happens below. Match Finished FULL-TIME: Tyrone march on to the semi-finals! It's all over in Croke Park and The Red Hand County surge into the last four of the All-Ireland SFC semi-finals. Who can have any complaints with that as Malachy O'Rourke guides them to their first semi-final in four years. Kieran McGeary has been named as man of the match. The bench played a big part in their victory as Eoin McElholm and Ruairi Canavan added great energy in the dying embers of the game. Dublin largely relied on Cormac Costello, but his presence faded rapidly in the second-half, as did Dessie Farrell's men as a whole. 70' Point Tyrone Scorer Ruairí Canavan Another Errigal Ciaran man to the fore as Ruairi Canavan adds further gloss to the scoreboard from a Tyrone perspective! 69' Point Tyrone Scorer Darragh Canavan That will surely be that! Darragh Canavan fires over the insurance score for Tyrone. 69' Can Dublin produce something special here? It seems like it's a goal or nothing here as Con O'Callaghan hoofs it in but Niall Morgan emerges with the ball. 68' Point Tyrone Scorer Ben McDonnell That could be the insurance score for Tyrone! Another bit of assured possession and game management from the Red Hand County as Ben McDonnell fists a point over Cluxton's bar. 67' Tyrone get a huge turnover in defence but Kieran McGeary makes the crucial mistake of kicking it out over the sideline to hand Dublin possession. 66' Point Tyrone Scorer Ruairí Canavan The Errigal Ciaran man was introduced only three minutes ago and he's made an instant impact as he restores the red Hand County's two-point advantage. 66' John Small shows his experience to win the free. Stephen Cluxton trots up the field and attempts to level the game from outside the '45 but it's wide. Wide number 10 for Dessie Farrell's side. 65' Point Dublin Scorer Luke Breathnach A one-score game once again! Dublin looked like they lost the ball but Luke Breathnach battled for possession and swung it over the bar in one fluid movement. Huge score. 64' Finally, Dublin try their luck from two-point range and it's Con O'Callaghan in the pocket but it crucially sails left and wide. Just 5 points for the Dubs in this second-half. 63' Point Tyrone Scorer Eoin McElholm That's the Loughmacrory club man off the mark since his introduction as he raced past Ciaran Kilkenny and squeezed the ball between the Hill 16 uprights. 62' WATCH: Con O'Callaghan introduced himself with a point from the bench earlier in the second-half 59' The change in midfield is part of a double alteration as Niall Scully makes way through injury for Luke Breathnach. 57' Substitution Tyrone Substituted out Cormac Quinn Substituted in Aidan Clarke A change at corner-back for Tyrone as play is stopped for Niall Scully who is receiving some attention. 56' Point Dublin Scorer Ciaran Kilkenny Tyrone's hunger has been second to none as Kieran McGeary puts in a sensational block on Cormac Costellow, but Peter Harte gives away the foul. Dublin retain possession and work it around to Ciaran Kilkenny who registers his eighth point against Tyrone in championship football. Live Blog Software
